Christmas Trees of Vermont has been open since 1982. While the new owners, Matt and Maggie Kurek, plan to make some changes, beloved traditions will remain. Tim Mollica is still helping on the farm, just like in past years. He said the opening weekend “broke a lot of records,” selling hundreds of trees. “It was a great weekend with great weather.” “What makes us different,” Mollica explained, “is that we have a house with restrooms, kitchens, places to warm up. People don’t have to worry about being cold.” The Christmas cottage will be open with two fireplaces, and visitors can enjoy baked goods, popcorn and hot chocolate from the Springfield Humane Society for a donation.

For the next two weekends, children can meet Santa Claus, and sing their favorite Christmas songs with Santa, and post clips on social media. Adults can taste and purchase wine on the weekends from Vermont Vines on the River. “It’s more about the experience,” Mollica explains. Rather than attending an amusement park, “this is what you do in the winter.” Christmas Trees of Vermont will be open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. until Sunday, Dec. 17.
