The annual Knott's Merry Farm Christmas celebration is back at Knott's Berry Farm in California.
One of the more distinctive offerings at Knott's celebration is its Christmas Crafts Village in Ghost Town, where you can find local vendors selling a a variety of holiday gifts, including handmade items. If you do not find what you are looking for, head over to the Wilderness Dance Hall, which has become Santa's Christmas Cabin for Merry Farm, and tell St. Nick yourself what you have on your wish list.
Entertainment remains a highlight for Knott's Berry Farm. Perhaps the park's most popular holiday show is the Snoopy's Night Before Christmas ice show in the Walter Knott Theater.
There's also the return of the Home for the Holidays musical show on the Calico Mine Stage. I also recommend the shows at Knott's The Bird Cage Theatre, which is showing two holiday productions: A Calico Christmas Carol and The Gift of the Magi, 1885.
As for holiday food, Knott's is serving its "Seasonal Eats & Treats" at more than two dozen locations around the park. Here is the complete Merry Farm menu from Knott's:
