Erin Hill Acres, located in the heart of Ontario near the charming town of Erin, flips the switch on winter magic every holiday season with its renowned outdoor Holiday Market. This authentic Christmas tree farm, with roots tracing back to 1846 when the Robertson family settled the land, offers far more than fresh-cut firs and wreaths. It’s an active agritourism destination where the spirit of community and the joys of the outdoors merge under the crisp late fall sky.
The market itself runs on November 15th, kicking off the farm’s festive season, which continues through December 22nd. Visitors arrive to the scent of pine and wood-fired pizza mingling with crackling fire pits and the murmur of lively local musicians. The farm’s Courtyard becomes a bustling hub featuring carefully curated vendor stalls that showcase unique crafts, seasonal decorations, and gifts you won’t find in large retailers. Children and adults alike delight in wagon rides, friendly farm animals—including Highland cows and baby reindeer—and a cozy play area designed to keep little ones entertained.

This connection to the land and local culture is palpable in every aspect, from the selection of fresh greenery harvested on-site to the artisans who make up the vendor community.
