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.
