Stroll Back Through Time At This Charles Dickens Christmas Experience At An Enchanting Connecticut Orchard

There are so many amazing Christmas events in Connecticut each year that it can be hard to keep track of them all. There's so much to do here in the wintertime, whether you like to visit pop-up holiday craft shows, check out the bright and colorful Christmas light displays, or visit a religious service. One place that many of us don't think to visit in the wintertime is Lyman Orchards. This is a popular family destination in the warm weather months, with u-pick options for a variety of fruits, but what many don't know is that this family-owned orchard offers great events throughout the year. One of the best will be coming up from December 1-December 23, 2023, when the orchard puts on A Charles Dickens Christmas in Connecticut. Check it out:

When most of us think of orchards, the image that comes to mind is a beautiful fall or summer's day filled with sunshine, delicious cider, and the crunch of a juicy, just-picked apple.

Lyman Orchards has been providing that through ten generations of family that's been farming the same land since 1741.

In winter, the scenery may look a little different, but that doesn't mean the fun has to end.

This December, the historic Lyman Family Homestead will be all decked out for an old-fashioned Christmas shebang with A Charles Dickens Christmas..

The event features all kinds of family-friendly events, including outdoor scenes from the classic Dickens novel.

On-site concessions include apple cider and freshly-baked donuts, and you'll also find indoor activities like letters to Santa.
