National Pumpkin Day at Santa’s Christmas Tree Forest

Friday, October 26th is National Pumpkin Day, and there is no place I would rather celebrate than a Christmas Tree farm.

I’ve made it no secret that Halloween isn’t my most favorite season, and I basically just use it as a countdown until my favorite time of the year, Christmas. But there are a few traditions I can still embrace, and visiting a pumpkin patch is pretty high up the list.

When it came time for our pumpkin adventure, Faison, Chelsea, and I headed out to Eustis, Florida to visit Santa’s Christmas Tree Forest for their Lot of Pumpkins. Santa’s Forest really goes all out in their pumpkin offerings, with a very healthy selection of various sizes of pumpkins, ranging in price from $3-$12. They even have a carving station so you have the option of carving your pumpkin on site (which means you can leave the mess behind!). The $5 price of admission also includes a hay ride and their petting zoo as well!

Okay, now the pumpkins were fun and all, but the real reason that I was so drawn to this place is that its main product is CHRISTMAS TREES. I know, I know, I bet you’re absolutely shocked to discover that a place called Santa’s Christmas Tree Forest might specialize in Christmas trees, but I already cannot wait to head back once Christmas season starts to cut down my very own Christmas tree.
