Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder stopped by a Christmas tree lot in Atlanta on Monday. The couple browsed the selection and ended up taking home a large tree ahead of the holiday, which Nina plans to spend with family in the Rockies. Nina and Ian got in the spirit during a break from filming the fourth season of The Vampire Diaries. The show is up for multiple People's Choice Awards and both Nina and Ian are also in the running for individual honors. They could pick up the title of sexiest couple of the year as well if they beat out Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in our Best of 2012 poll. There's still time to vote for that and the People's Choice Awards, which take place on Jan. 9 in LA.
