It’s the merriest, yes the merriest! So merry, in fact, that each year it changes its name. Knott’s Merry Farm is back again this holiday season bringing with it its unique brand of holiday charm. Located in Buena Park, not too far from the Happiest (and most crowded) Place on Earth at the Disneyland Resort, the charming park is a great way to spend the holidays if you’re feeling a little bummed out by the crushing crowds with Mickey and co.

We were invited by Knott’s Merry Farm to check out the park’s holiday offerings and are happy to present some of our most favorite sites and sounds…

  1. Meet Snoopy at Santa’s Christmas Cabin

    It’s Santa, it’s Snoopy. In a single line. Best Christmas card photo EVER!

  2. Snow and Glow in Ghost Town

    One of the most robust and heavy snowfalls in southern California! Get yourself thoroughly powdered in a fresh dusting of stage snow!

  3. Christmas Entertainment

    From the Merry Christmas, Snoopy ice show to the joyous It’s the Merriest Christmas Show Ever, Charlie Brown stage show, there’s some high-profile Christmas cheer to take in but there’s also lovely holiday stories at the Birdcage Theatre, Carolers, and more to enjoy.
