"Christmas Tree Farm" on YouTube | ||||
"Christmas Tree Farm" is a Christmas song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. She produced it with the English musician Jimmy Napes. Swift wrote the song on December 1, 2019, inspired by her Christmas vacation, and released it five days later, on December 6. Opening with an orchestrated balladic intro, "Christmas Tree Farm" is a cheery uptempo pop song driven by swing drums, lush orchestral arrangements, jingle bells, choir harmonies, and lyrics on childhood memories of Christmas.
The single charted within the top 30 in Belgium, Croatia, Hungary, and Scotland. Music critics praised the song's festive production and lyrics. An official music video, a compilation of home videos that capture Swift's childhood days from the Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania she grew up on, was also released alongside the song. The video features herself, her brother Austin Swift, and their parents. Swift performed the song live at the 2019 Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London and iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in New York City; the live version from the latter was released to digital music platforms in November 2020, followed by picture discs of the song. An "Old Timey Version" of the song, in which the orchestral accompaniment is more emphasized with rerecorded vocals, has also been released.
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 album, The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection, on October 14, 2007, which peaked atop the US Top Holiday Albums chart. The album includes six tracks: four cover versions of Christmas classics and two original tracks co-written by Swift. Swift revisited Pine Ridge Farm in July 2018 and said that she felt particularly emotional upon entering her childhood bedroom. She referenced the farm in the music video for her single "Me!", released in April 2019.
Swift wrote, recorded, and released "Christmas Tree Farm" in under six days. She wrote the song on piano on December 1, 2019, before recording her vocals and producing the track with the English producer Jimmy Napes the following day. On December 3, a group of choral singers provided the background vocals. Swift announced the track on Good Morning America on December 5, before it was released at midnight by Republic Records for digital download and streaming, and to US contemporary hit, hot adult contemporary, modern adult contemporary, and adult contemporary radio. It marked the third original Christmas song in her discography.
On November 22, 2021, Swift announced a re-recorded "Old Timey Version" of the track on Good Morning America. The song was released that same day as an Amazon Music exclusive, and was sent to contemporary hit radio on November 29, 2021; it was later released to all streaming platforms on November 23, 2022. A collection containing the original song, the "Old Timey Version", and the live performance at iHeartRadio's 2019 Jingle Ball was released in November 2024.
Cover artwork
The cover artwork for the track features a photo of a young Swift smiling while she holds her pet dog, taken at Pine Ridge Farm. The song's title and her name are written in a garland-style that resembled a friendship bracelet.
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 mix engineer. Simon Hale conducted the string arrangement, and Lawrence Johnson worked as the vocal arranger. Featuring a new arrangement and a 70-piece orchestra, the re-recorded "Old Timey Versrion" was produced by Napes, arranged by Hale, and recorded by Chris Bolster at Abbey Road Studios in London with assistance from Neil Dawes and Daniel Hayden.
Musicians who played instruments for the original version include Camille (violin); 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 48 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 work of Nat King Cole and Karen Carpenter by Gwen Ihnat of The A.V. Club. The song then transitions into the main uptempo 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). Hannah Mylrea of NME and Ihnat considered the track a return to Swift's country music roots.
The lyrics recall Swift's nostalgic childhood memories from an adult perspective. In the intro, Swift 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 chorus, "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" as catchy and for its nostalgic nature. Jane Song from Paste 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. She wrote that although the song was overly sentimental, it succeeded in the context of using the holiday season to reflect Swift's childhood memories. Time Out's Liv Kelly lauded Swift's tribute to her childhood home and the "charmingly juvenile nostalgia" of the song. Bria McNeal from Esquire described the track as "dazzling" and added that it became her favorite Christmas track after discovering it in 2024. Several critics praised the song's catchiness, with Annie Zaleski of Salon.com and Glenn Rowley of Billboard dubbing the track 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 song's "irrepressible" hook and described Swift's vocals as angelic. American Songwriter's Alex Hopper said that the song's best part 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. In 2020 rankings of Swift's discography, Mylrea placed the track 84th out of 161 tracks, while Song ranked it 72nd out of 158 songs. In 2024, Jones considered "Christmas Tree Farm" to be her 185th best song out of 245 tracks, and Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield listed it at number 203 out of 274 songs.
