The opinions in this article are my own. I do not work for, or with, any brand mentioned in this article, nor do I have any official relationship with them. I have a relationship with GigaSavvy, for whom I create original editorial content.
Knott’s Merry Farm is back and this will be the 3rd year in a row that my family and I are going to opening day! We recently bought season tickets for 2016 and with that you are able to go to the park for FREE once in 2015. I highly recommend that you visit while the park is decorated for the holidays, starting November 21st. Knott’s Merry Farm invites you to celebrate with thrilling attractions, live entertainment, a crafts fair, festive food, lavish holiday decorations, and nightly snow in Ghost Town.
Last year we love watching the PEANUTS® gang, and a cast of world class ice skaters perform in the ice show, Merry Christmas, Snoopy! In this magical show, Snoopy enjoys all of the best parts of the season, including trimming the Christmas tree, awaiting Santa’s arrival, and attending the Christmas Ball. Every ice show that we have seen at Knott’s Berry Farm is amazing, but this holiday one is always our favorite!
The Wilderness Dance Hall in Ghost Town will transform into Santa’s Christmas Cabin for the holiday season and trust me – you won’t want to miss this one! Not only can your little ones take a picture with jolly ol’ St. Nick but there will also be tons of delicious holiday treats to enjoy. Santa’s homemade cookies, mouthwatering pastries, fresh roasted nuts, and decadent cinnamon rolls just to name a few. Last year the candied pecans were a personal favorite. There are also treat for the adults with offerings of seasonal craft beer available.
Don’t forget to stroll through Ghost Town for more seasonal treats including fresh poured-to-order maple lollipops at the Gold Trails Hotel, holiday churros from the Churro Factory, and warm gingerbread men baked at the Farm Bakery. You can even get some Christmas shopping done in Knott’s Christmas Crafts Village, as Ghost Town transforms into a shopping wonderland filled with dozens of local artisans selling their unique gifts.
A trip to Knott’s Berry Farm wouldn’t be complete without taking a ride on Engine 41. This steam engine with will decorated for the holidays complete with time period cast members to share a seat with. After your train ride you can swing by Camp Snoopy theater where an all-new show will make it’s debut – Christmas Time is Here, Charlie Brown. The show features a delightful mash up of some of your favorite holiday songs with a cheerful and heartwarming dose of the Peanuts gang.
Before you end your day at Knott’s Merry Farm, be sure to check out Snoopy’s Merriest Tree Lighting show on the Calico Square Stage. This whimsical tree lighting features a cast of marching toy soldiers, the loveable Mrs. Claus, dancing snowmen, and the world’s most famous beagle, Snoopy! Once the day is done, take a stroll through Ghost Town once the sun sets to enjoy the twinkling light and holiday music while snow gently falls overhead. This year, snow falls across even more of Ghost Town, from the School House to the Saloon and down to the Assay Office.
