About the Show

The “Snoopy on Ice” concept goes back decades and this newest version brings a blend of new and classic holiday songs, a gigantic screen backdrop and proscenium with vibrant visuals plus a dazzling array of talented ice skaters and aerialists, and of course Snoopy and his pals!

You’ll spot Snoopy several times as well as Charlie Brown, Linus, Franklin, and even Patty who gets her own pepperminty musical number.

How to Watch

Snoopy’s Night Before Christmas ice spectacular runs approximately 30 minutes and can be seen at the Walter Knott Theater at the back of the park. This is a popular show and all performances will usually fill up. It’s recommend to arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes before showtime, longer if you’re picky about your seat.

The ice spectacular is typically performed at 1:30pm, 3:30pm, 5:30pm and 7:30pm during the Knott’s Merry Farm season but always check the app for showtimes on the day of your visit. The show may be dark on week days or have fewer showtimes.
