Celebrating the holidays at Knott’s Merry Farm

If you’re in Southern California, a visit to Knott’s Merry Farm is due to celebrate the holiday season. Knott’s is decked out in its most festive wear beginning Thanksgiving Day and goes until January 5, 2013 (just in time to celebrate El Día de los Reyes).

Knott’s recently released it’s holiday show guide and I’m happy to see that the classics are still place.

It’s Christmas Snoopy!

Santa’s Christmas Cabin

New for 2013! Wilderness Dance Hall will become a yuletide cabin where you’ll be able to meet Santa and enjoy homemade cookies, a sundae bar, decadent hot chocolate topped with hand carved chocolate shavings, winter wine and craft beer tastings, and more! (Some experiences require additional fees)

Snoopy’s Tree Lighting – Calico Square

Stop by the Calico Stage in Calico Square and see the enormous Christmas Tree light up right before your eyes! Along with the tree lighting, you’ll also witness a cast of Toy Soldiers, Snowmen, Elves and America’s most famous beagle, Snoopy!

“The Gift of the Magi” – Bird Cage Theatre

The kids and I loved this show last year. It tells the classic story of “The Gift of the Magi” featuring a young married couple who have no money to spend on each other to purchase Christmas gifts. The couple decide to each sell their most prized possession to give the other a special, secret gift. It has a little twist at the end, and the story is one that even younger kids will understand.

Christmas Crafts Fair- Ghost Town

Get your Christmas shopping done – at Knott’s! They have the most amazing vendors selling many unique items including jewelry, candles, books, scarves, toys, and so much more! Last year, there was a vendor there selling handmade jewelry made out of bottle caps, guitar picks and other random media. The kids and I had a blast choosing out the jewelry and a year later – we’re still wearing it! It’s a great opportunity to support local small businesses too.
