Big John’s Christmas Trees and The Works on the Upper Westside (1295 Chattahoochee Avenue) are teaming up for an indoor Christmas tree shopping experience set to open to the public today. The space is scheduled to stay open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily through December 23rd, giving shoppers plenty of time to stop by and choose the perfect tree for their home.

The Works is one of six locations this year for Big John’s Christmas Trees, a family-owned business that’s been an Atlanta holiday tradition for more than seven decades. It all began in 1949, when “Big John” Livaditis linked up with a Christmas tree grower to sell trees at the Zesto Drive-In on Peachtree Road across from Brookwood Station. Today, Big John’s family continues to carry on the legacy of offering the best firs and pines harvested from North American farms.

If you want multiple fast options:
Turf is a common denominator in kid- and pet-friendly dining spaces, and both Chattahoochee Food Works and Alpharetta City Center offer large turfed areas. At CFW, head to The Camp, an almost completely shaded area in front of Your 3rd Spot. Grab food from stalls and restaurants like Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q and the Andrew Zimmern and Pat LaFrieda-developed Patty & Franks and set up shop near the low-rise play structures. Alpharetta City Center is more exposed to the sun with only a thin bit of shade running along the side of Chiringa, but what it lacks in cover, it makes up for in choices. There’s a fountain that kids use as a splash pad, and casual spots surround the square, like Never Enough Thyme and Boarding Pass Coffee. For a sit-down breakfast or lunch, try Hen Mother Cookhouse, whose Alpharetta location is just off the square and has an expansive patio.
