After 64 years, Holloway’s Christmas Tree Farm will open final season in Nipomo

After more than six decades of welcoming families to pick out Christmas trees, enjoy hot cocoa and make holiday memories, Holloway’s Christmas Tree Farm is preparing for its final season under the Holloway family.For co-owners Carl and Deborah Holloway, retirement follows years of operating the family business and an unsuccessful effort to find someone to carry on its Christmas tree tradition.Established in 1962 by Carl’s father, Delmer Holloway, the farm at 561 S. Oak Glen Ave. became a longtime holiday destination for generations of Central Coast families.When the couple announced their retirement plans in 2025, they initially hoped to sell the business to someone who would continue its operations.“We saw that a young group could come in and really put some energy into the farm and take it to the next level. That’s where it was ready to go, but it didn’t happen,” Carl said. A family walks through trees Sunday at Holloway's Christmas Tree Farm in Nipomo in 2025.
