"Christmas Tree Farm" is a Christmas song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. She wrote it on December 1, 2019, inspired by her affection for the holiday season, and produced it with Jimmy Napes. Republic Records released the track as a single on December 6 of that year. Opening with a 1950-inspired jazzy intro, "Christmas Tree Farm" is a pop song driven by an upbeat arrangement, orchestral treatment, jingle bells, and lyrics on childhood memories of Christmas.

Music critics have praised "Christmas Tree Farm" as catchy and for its nostalgic lyricism; they have retrospectively regarded it as one of the best Christmas songs. It reached number 91 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and the top 30 on the national charts of Croatia, Flanders, Hungary, and Scotland. The track received gold certifications in Australia and the United Kingdom.

Swift directed the music video for "Christmas Tree Farm", which features childhood home footage of her and her family. She performed the song live in 2019 at the Jingle Bell Ball in London and the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in New York City; the live version from the latter was released digitally in December 2020. An "old timey version" of the track, in which the orchestral accompaniment is more emphasized along with elements of swing music, was released to all digital music platforms in November 2022.

Background and release

Having grown up in Pine Ridge Farm, a Christmas tree farm in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Taylor Swift expressed her love for the holiday season and that she wishes "it was all year round". She stated that she helped her dad manage the farm during her childhood and that the environment influenced her affection for the season. She released her first Christmas record, The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection, on October 14, 2007, which peaked atop the US Top Holiday Albums chart. The album includes six songs: four cover versions of Christmas classics and two original tracks co-written by Swift. She revisited Pine Ridge Farm in July 2018 and said that she felt particularly emotional upon entering her childhood bedroom. Swift referenced the farm in the music video for her single "Me!", released on April 26, 2019.

Swift wrote, recorded, and released "Christmas Tree Farm" in under six days. She wrote the song on piano on December 1, 2019, and recorded her vocals the following day. On December 3, a group of choral singers provided background vocals. Swift announced the track on Good Morning America on December 5, before it was released as a single the following day by Republic Records. A behind-the-scenes video that showcases the three-day creation process of "Christmas Tree Farm" was released on December 23, 2019.

Republic Records released a live recording at iHeartRadio's 2019 Jingle Ball for digital download and streaming on December 19, 2020. On November 22, 2021, Swift announced a new "old timey version" of the track on Good Morning America, released on the same day as an Amazon Music exclusive. A behind-the-scenes video featuring the process of making the song accompanied its release. The track was released to all digital music platforms on November 23, 2022. A collection containing the original, new, and live versions was released in November 2024.

Production and composition

Swift produced "Christmas Tree Farm" with Napes, who provided background vocals and played piano on it. Gus Pirelli played moog bass and recorded the track at London Lane Studios in the United Kingdom, assisted by Jamie McEvoy, Joseph Wander, and Will Purton. Serban Ghenea mixed it, with John Hanes serving as the mixing engineer. Simon Hale conducted the string arrangement, and Lawrence Johnson worked as the vocal arranger. Musicians who played instruments for "Christmas Tree Farm" include Bruce White (viola), Jodi Milliner (bass guitar), Ian Burdge (cello), Chris Laurence (double bass), and Ash Soan (drums); John Thurgood, Laurence Davies, and Martin Owen played French horn. Several singers provided choral background vocals, including Candice-Mimi Otohwo, Destinee Knight-Scott, Glenn Tatenda Gwazai, Jessica Mae Obioha, Lorrain Briscoe, Margeaux Michelle, Paul Lee, Tarna Renae Johnson, Tehillah Daniel, The LJ Singers, Travis J Cole, Wayne Hernandez, and Wendi Rose.

"Christmas Tree Farm is 3 minutes and 47 seconds long. Music journalists identified it as a Christmas-themed-pop song and a sentimental ballad that features an upbeat arrangement, an uptempo rhythm, and 1960s music influences. It begins with a jazzy intro showcasing 1950s-inspired strings, which was compared to the music of Nat King Cole and Karen Carpenter by The A.V. Club's Gwen Ihnat. The song then transitions into the main upbeat pop part, featuring jingle bell percussion; it evokes the music of Mariah Carey and Phil Spector, according to The New York Times' Jon Pareles and Vulture's Nate Jones. Parade's Jessica Sager likened the composition of "Christmas Tree Farm" to the songs on Spector's album A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector (1963). Ihnat and NME's Hannah Mylrea considered it a return to Swift's country music roots. Featuring a new arrangement and a 70-piece orchestra, the "old timey version" incorporates horns, strings, and muted jingle bells along with elements of swing music.

The lyrics recall Swift's nostalgic childhood memories from an adult perspective. In the intro, she expresses her stress amid the chaotic nature of the holiday season, before she closes her eyes and envisions being in a different place: "My winter nights are taken up by static/ Stress, holiday shopping, traffic/ Then I close my eyes and I'm somewhere else/ Just like magic". She wishes to visit the Christmas tree farm in her heart and depicts a fanciful scene: "In my heart is a Christmas tree farm/ Where the people would come/ To dance under sparkling lights/ Bundled up in their mittens and coats/ And the cider would flow/ And I just wanna be there tonight". Swift sings in the hook to her lover, "Everything is icy and blue/ And you would be there too", before admitting in the refrain, "I love you/ Just being in your arms/ Takes me back to that little farm/ Where every wish comes true".

Critical reception

Music critics praised "Christmas Tree Farm" for its memorable tune and nostalgic nature. Paste's Jane Song dubbed it "twinkly, fresh, and happy", and Mylrea thought that it captured "everything that's great about a Christmas song"–an upbeat tune, a cozy feeling, and a soothing nature. The latter wrote although the track was overly sentimental, it succeeded in the context of using the holiday season to reflect Swift's childhood memories. Time Out's Liv Kelly similarly lauded her tribute to her childhood home and the song's "charmingly juvenile nostalgia". Esquire's Bria McNeal described the track as "dazzling" and added that it became her favorite Christmas song after discovering it in 2024. Several critics praised "Christmas Tree Farm" as catchy; Annie Zaleski of Salon.com, Glenn Rowley of Billboard, and Kayleigh Dray and Steven Cowan of Stylist dubbed it an "earworm".

Some critics commented on the production and the vocals. Variety's Chris Willman said that the heavy orchestration and rich production of "Christmas Tree Farm" resulted in "maximum holiday glee", and Ihnat praised the "irrepressible" hook and described Swift's vocals as angelic. American Songwriter's Alex Hopper said that best part of the song was the bridge ("And when I'm feelin' alone/ You remind me of home/ oh, baby, baby, Merry Christmas") and considered the track one of the five most underrated Christmas songs. "Christmas Tree Farm" appeared in rankings of Swift's discography by Song (72 out of 158), Mylrea (84 out of 161), Jones (185 out of 245), and Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield (203 out of 274).

Rankings
