Cutting Your Own Christmas Tree: A Veer Family Tradition

@hellokateanne

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree, you stand in splendid beauty.

It's that time of year again—time for presents and stockings.

For family time and holiday traditions.

With tons of Christmas family activities to choose from this season, there is one that might seem intimidating at first: cutting down your own Christmas tree.

Why take on such a tall task when life seems so cozy cuddled up indoors?

Because, the wild can't be found inside!

If you fall into this category, fear not, getting that perfect tree is not as daunting as one might think—and it’s totally worth the experience, especially when you’ve got the right gear.

Here’s why cutting your own tree should be on Santa’s list this Christmas, and how it becomes exponentially more doable with a stroller wagon guiding the adventure.

Cruising into Christmas

Home Base on Wheels

Navigating a Christmas tree farm can be tricky for new families, no doubt. There's typically a lot to see and do.

You may find stands offering holiday foods and hot cocoa.

Perhaps a firepit, for getting toasty and making s'mores.

And of course, you should be on the lookout for that prime spot to snap a family photo while everyone's out in the action.

Getting around to experience the farm can be tough, especially with young children—but not when Cruiser’s your home base on wheels.

First you’ll need to bundle up. Beyond hats, gloves and layers, there’s a growing list of winter wagon accessories to help keep everyone comfy and warm in the frosty winter weather.

Bring lots of blankets and consider the Shearling Seat Cover to keep the chills at bay.

A snack tray magically turns your ride into meals on wheels! No need to find somewhere to sit and enjoy your holiday snacks. No need for carrying toddlers, or walking for miles as little legs struggle to maneuver snowy landscapes.

For parents, the lack of all these transitions (in and out, in and out) make the trip more manageable. Your kiddos can just lay back and enjoy the ride, with front row seats to all the action.

A Foldable Storage Basket holds layers of clothing and the many extras you need to ensure a smooth journey.

Retractable canopies aren’t just for sunny beach days. Pull them up to block out gusty winds and frigid air.

You’ve thought ahead, and now the other parents are breaking their necks to get a glimpse of holiday cruising done right.

Built Tree Tuff

Once you’ve enjoyed some snacks and festivities at the tree farm, it’s time to go find that perfect pine.

With a wagon that’s built to withstand the elements, you can feel confident going further and staying longer.

Boasting a cargo weight capacity of up to 250 lbs, the All-Terrain Cruiser can even help lug that freshly cut tree back to your car.

Are we advocating you strap a 14-foot goliath to your wagon? Maybe not. But Cruiser is built tough, and will give you the ability to go places and do things other families can't and don't.

@sydney.mulligan

With a standard 8-foot Christmas tree weighing just 65 lbs on average, it’s certainly no match for these wheels.

And the best part—once you get that spruce back to holiday headquarters, Cruiser is completely hose washable.

All the slush, snow, needles and tree sap are quickly a thing of the past. Just point and spray and you’re good as new, ready for the next adventure.

Now that’s a genuine Santa-approved winter sleigh!

Christmas Flair

Really want to be the belle of the ball?

Decorate your wagon!

Battery-operated lights or some well-placed garland can quickly turn your Cruiser into the ultimate holiday sled.

Toss in a toddler dressed as an elf or sporting some reindeer antlers and you’ve created more than just a holiday wagon—you’re creating memories.

@littlemissfashionqueen

And after all, isn’t that what Christmas is all about?

Explorations

So what are you waiting for? Your perfect Christmas tree and the ultimate holiday family activity awaits.

And now that you’ve lugged it home, the decorating tradition can officially begin.

Ornaments and lights, combined with the smell of a fresh-cut tree, will leave your home ready for all the magic this Christmas season.
