Lead Writer, Travel

If you're looking for festive things to do around the city this year, you'll want to road trip to this charming farm.

Drysdale's is a Christmas tree farm located near Barrie, and this season, it has transformed into a magical holiday village.

The farm has been running since 1945, and you can carry on so many festive traditions once more this year.

The village is open on weekends, and attractions include a train ride through the property, horse-drawn wagon rides, a cozy bonfire, and more. You can snap a photo with Santa and his elf and watch a magician make some magic.

A holiday adventure isn't complete without some tasty treats, and you can order things like hot chocolate, poutine, and pizza from the food hut.

The farm is open seven days a week until Christmas Eve for the retails store, cut-your-own trees, and pre-cut trees. Live like you're in a Taylor Swift Christmas song and head to this heartwarming spot.
