?We wanted to bring something different to Old Town Temecula ? real trees chosen with care, a nostalgic setting, and a place where families can start or continue holiday traditions,? Merrill said. ?Traveling to the Willamette Valley and hand-selecting each Noble Fir and Douglas Fir allowed us to offer premium trees that look great and last through the season. Our vintage Chevy farm truck is the heart of the lot ? it?s a fun, timeless backdrop for photos and memories.?

The Old Town Christmas Tree Lot opens the day after Thanksgiving and will operate through mid-December, weather and supply permitting.

We hope families can select the perfect family tree, take some classic family photos, and take a short stroll through Old Town, making tree shopping a full holiday outing.
