We started with Berry, then Scary, now onto Merry! Beginning November 19, guests will be able to enjoy Knott’s Berry Farm transformed into winter wonderland Knott’s Merry Farm! This holiday spectacular includes a complete overhaul of decor and landscaping featuring thousands of twinkling lights, miles and miles of holiday garland, giant snowflakes as far as the eye can see, making a spirited backdrop for the jolliest time of year.
Knott’s Merry Farm is bringing back fan favorites for 2021 such as “Home for the Holidays”, a musical revue featuring everyone’s favorite seasonal songs. And look for Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts Gang as they glide and dance in the popular ice show, “Merry Christmas Snoopy!”. The Peanuts Gang continues their holiday festivities with “A Peanuts Guide to Christmas”, as Charlie Brown and his friends offer their take and unique wisdom on surviving the holidays while singing a mashup of their favorite holiday tunes.
Even Ghost Town comes alive with the holiday spirit…literally! In Ghost Town’s Bird Cage Theatre, Knott’s melodrama company brings to life Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and “Marley’s Wings”. In Marley’s Wings, the Ghost of Jacob Marley returns in a holiday musical that is sure to delight more than fright! Winding down the roads of Ghost Town, see the Calico Carolers perform acapella carols. Got some pep in your step? Head over to the Tinsel Top Club at the Boardwalk Ballroom, the dance floor is open as the best swing bands around put their own spin on the season.
Merry Farm wouldn’t be complete without performances from Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies! Join this kooky group for a foot-stompin’, down-home dose of Christmas cheer the only way they know how – with energetic music and comedy for the whole family! Or head south of the border for a show filled with rich culture, history, and great music put on by the Mariachi Angelitas on the Fiesta Plaza Stage!
Wilderness Dance Hall will become happiness headquarters as it transforms into Santa’s Christmas Cabin! The entire family can take photos with Santa and his friends. After a photo opportunity, enjoy an array of holiday treats such as fresh baked cookies, pastries, and seasonal drinks!
Speaking of treats…Even more delicious holiday dishes and one-of-a-kind treats can be found throughout Knott’s Merry Farm. Guests can expect to indulge in traditional holiday classics with a twist, including the Merry Farm favorite, crispy breaded turkey bites filled with perfectly seasoned stuffing and sweet cranberry sauce. Or how about a funnel cake topped with pumpkin pie flavors and maple syrup sauce?? With so many choices to choose from, come hungry!
Every night as the sun sets, the magic of the season comes alive in the form of “Snow and Glow” as Ghost Town’s buildings and paths are lit with thousands of dancing lights all to a Christmas beat while snow gently falls for a one-of-a-kind So-Cal Christmas that must be seen to be believed!
