Blue Spruce Replanting After Christmas

Question

I have a 5-foot blue spruce with roots as a Christmas tree. It’s time to plant it in the garden, which lays in deep snow. I hope to have dug a deep enough hole, before it started to snow and freeze. If I find the hole, should I plant the tree now or wait till it gets warmer? How do I plant it? Covering with tight earth, watering at first or leaving it to nature? How can I help the tree not to go into a shock from the warm inside to the cold outside? What do I need to take care of the tree so it stays happy and alive?
