Once DeMeritt Hill Farm has lit its tree, in what the farm calls its first annual Tree Lighting, Santa and Mrs. Claus climb aboard a tractor-pulled sleigh and ride through the orchard with guests. Each trip lasts 20 to 30 minutes, long enough for children to talk with the pair and for families to take pictures.
Rides leave at 5:00, 5:30 and 6:00 PM on Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 20 Orchard Way. Tickets are sold through Eventbrite and the farm's page does not show the price. Children 3 and under are free and sit on a parent's lap.
Parent tip: The rides run after dark in late November in an open orchard, so dress children in full winter layers. Come before your ride time if you want to see the tree lighting that happens first.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Lee
Lee was named for Charles Lee, a British general who later joined the American Revolution, when the town was chartered in 1766. In this small farm town, Christmas for families starts at an orchard, where Santa and Mrs. Claus take guests on a tractor-drawn sleigh.
How Lee celebrates
Christmas in Lee, as listed here, happens at DeMeritt Hill Farm on Orchard Way, which Wikipedia names among the town's sites of interest. On Saturday, November 28, 2026, the farm holds what it calls its first annual Tree Lighting, and afterward Santa and Mrs. Claus lead 20 to 30 minute tractor sleigh rides through the orchard at 5:00, 5:30 and 6:00 PM. The next morning the farm hosts Sunday Mornings with Mrs. Claus, a free hour in which she reads a holiday book and children get a treat and photos. The farm organizes both, in a town Wikipedia describes as a rural farm and bedroom community.
