They had us at adorable animals and free hot chocolate.
Staff Writer

It is never too early to decorate. If you want to spruce up your house for the holiday, you'll want to visit one of these charming Christmas tree farms near Ottawa.

While artificial trees are convenient, they lack the incredible scent of fresh balsam fir. If you've never cut down your own tree before, you need to add this activity to your bucket list.

You'll have so much fun finding the perfect evergreen for your home. It feels like going on a treasure hunt to find the one that is just right.

Plus, many local farms offer free hot chocolate, wagon rides or even homemade cookies to enjoy.

All you need to do now is unpack your ornaments and pick a day to go.
