There’s something special about Christmas in Boone. The air turns crisp, the mountain peaks dust with snow, and families head out together, bundled up in scarves and smiles, searching for the perfect Fraser fir. You can practically smell the season — a blend of pine, cocoa, and adventure.

Boone, North Carolina, isn’t just known for its views. It’s known for its feel — that warm, small-town charm that brings people back every year. And during the holidays, the best way to soak it in is by spending the day at one of the area’s beautiful Christmas tree farms.

A High Country Tradition Worth Keeping

If you’ve never cut your own Christmas tree, Boone is the place to start. The farms here are run by local families who’ve spent generations growing some of the finest Fraser firs in the country — the very same trees that end up in state capitols and major holiday displays.

The process is simple and fun: grab a saw (or borrow one there), wander the rows of evergreens, and find the tree that feels like yours. Most farms offer cider, cocoa, or hot donuts, and you’ll often run into Santa, hayrides, and friendly farm dogs along the way.

This is the kind of outing that becomes a family story.
