You can step into a cozy Christmas scene that's straight out of a Hallmark movie at this Ontario spot. With crackling fires, fluffy cows and festive cheer, it's a magical place to get into the holiday spirit.

Located just over an hour from Toronto, the destination is an enchanting day trip filled with all sorts of Christmas-themed attractions and experiences.

Erin Hill Acres is an authentic Christmas tree farm nestled in the countryside of Hillsburgh. The destination has transformed into a "Hallmark movie set," according to the website, and it will have you feeling like the main character of your own festive film.

On select dates until December 22, 2024, you can enjoy the farm's A Country Christmas Experience. The event features wagon rides through a winter wonderland, furry highland cows, cozy fire pits, trails through glistening forests, and photo ops such as the Grinch trailer and Griswold wagon.

The event also gives you access to the Christmas tree forest with up to 2,000 Fraser Fir and Balsam Fir trees.

You'll want to bring your appetite, because the farm's Courtyard Cafe is brimming with wood fired pizzas and baked goods.

Other fun activities at Erin Hill Acres include visiting Santa in his living room, meeting animals like Hillary Fluff the chicken and sipping hot cocoa.

Tickets are required for the Country Christmas Experience and can be purchased online. If you're only looking to buy a tree without the holiday activities, you can purchase a pre-cut tree without needing to pay for admission.

With Hallmark movie vibes and wintry fun, this Christmas tree farm is a magical day trip to enjoy this holiday season.
