The holidays are back at Knott’s Berry Farm with Knott’s Merry Farm, running now through January 8. The park is fully decked out for the season with festive decor, Christmas stalls, fun treats and sweets, and plenty of holiday performances. Here are four suggestions to make the most of your day.

Four Things to Do at Knott’s Merry Farm

Snoopy’s Night Before Christmas: Ice Show

If you only see one thing at Knott’s Merry Farm, make sure to catch Snoopy’s Night Before Christmas: Ice Show at the Walter Knott Theater. The 30-minute ice show features Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Franklin and a troupe of some of the most incredible skaters you’ll see. The show includes upbeat numbers to modern Christmas classics with aerial performances, swing dancing and some gorgeous set design to complement the show. You can catch the performance at 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Christmas Eats & Treats

You’ll find festive goodies throughout the park, and you won’t want to miss a few of these specials! Sweets include the Grinch’s Gingerbread Brownies at Ghost Town Bakery, Prancer’s Pumpkin Cheesecake Roll with Cream Cheese Icing Funnel Cake at Ghost Town Grub, and a Cake Batter Blondie Cookiewich with Butterscotch Chips at Chow House. In addition to sweet eats, you’ll find various holiday-themed savory items to try out as well, like the Classic Turkey Sandwich with all the Trimmings at Boardwalk BBQ, Turkey Bites with Gravy and Brussel Sprouts with Pecans and Cranberries at Santa’s Christmas Cabin, and the Gobble Gobble Turkey Rice Casserole at Wagon Wheel Pizza.

Entertainment

There’s so much to see and do at Knott’s Merry Farm; it’s a little difficult to see it all. Make sure to check the app for all applicable showtimes and plot out your map accordingly. Hit the Streets of Calico to catch Knott’s Calico Carolers in traditional caroling attire. If you’re looking for the big guy in red, you’ll find him at Santa’s Christmas Cabin (you can also catch Santa Snoopy here on weekends from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.). Pretty much every area of the park has unique holiday entertainment, so it’s easy to stay in the spirit of the season. Make a point to visit the Ghost Town at 5:30 p.m. every night for a special snowy surprise, and also don’t forget to catch the nightly Christmas Tree lighting in Calico Park.

Visit With the Claus Family

Experience the magic of the holiday season with a visit to the Claus family at Knott’s Merry Farm! Make lasting memories as you step into Santa’s Christmas Cabin, where you can meet the jolly man himself and capture cherished moments with photos. And don’t miss the chance to spread some holiday cheer by decorating delicious cookies alongside Mrs. Claus. It’s a delightful opportunity to immerse yourself in the spirit of the season and create joyful memories with your loved ones.
