Knott’s Berry Farm at Christmas and New Year’s Eve!

What I love about Knott’s Berry Farm, is that you can enjoy all of the Christmas festivities and decorations, while ushering in the New Year’s Eve with a warm wholesome environment for the whole family.

The countdown to the New Year is on at Knott’s Merry Farm! With special fireworks, live entertainment, and extended hours, plus Knott’s signature rides and attractions, Knott’s New Year’s Eve celebration is the place to ring in 2019.

Returning this year, the PEANUTS gang, and a cast of world class ice skaters perform in the breathtaking ice show, Merry Christmas, Snoopy! in the 1,967 seat Charles M. Schulz Theatre. In this whimsical show, Snoopy enjoys all of the best parts of the season, including trimming the Christmas tree, awaiting Santa’s arrival and attending the Christmas Ball! Select dates, November 19-January 8.

The holiday season celebration continues at Camp Snoopy, with an all-new show debuting at the Camp Snoopy Theatre, A Peanuts Guide to Christmas. The Peanuts give their take and unique wisdom in a primer designed to help everyone survive the holidays. The show features delightful mash ups of holiday songs with a cheerful and heartwarming dose of the Peanuts gang. Relax and unwind at Knott’s Christmas Crafts Village, as Ghost Town transforms into a shopping wonderland with dozens of local artisans selling their unique crafts and gifts.

The annual Christmas Crafts village includes artistic craft holiday shops featuring power chainsaw sculpting and elegant glass blowing demonstrations. Entrance to the Knott’s Christmas Crafts Village is free Monday through Thursday, November 21 – December 8, and is included with theme park admission every day. In the intimate setting of Ghost Town’s historic Bird Cage Theatre, Knott’s melodrama company brings to life Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and O. Henry’sA Gift of the Magi performances available on select dates during Knott’s Merry Farm.

When the sun sets on the farm, the buildings and paths in Ghost Town twinkle brightly to the beat of a holiday favorite as snow gently falls on all guests. Park guests can enjoy more of the nightly snow and glow experience in most of Ghost Town, from School House Road to the Saloon and down to the Assay Office. The toe tappin’, hand clappin’, comedy and bluegrass of Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies continues their Knott’s Merry Farm residency this holiday season in the Birdcage Theatre on select nights.

The perfect stocking stuffer is now on-sale! A 2019 Season Pass includes one free admission in 2018, unlimited visits in 2019 with no blackout dates, discounts on select food and merchandise, and access to exciting year-round seasonal events. For affordable year-round fun for everyone on your “nice” list, Season Passes start at just $90.00, the best price of the year for a limited time.

Be sure not to miss Mrs. Knott’s Chicken restaurant. Even though there might be a wait for this famous family chicken dinner meal, it is well worth it. On my last visit, when I looked at how much chicken was on the plate, I thought for sure I wouldn’t be able to finish it. But after my first bite, I couldn’t stop. It was just that good. Served with delicious buttermilk bisquits, homemade style mashed potatoes and gravy, topped off with a slice of their boysenberry pie.
After more than 20 years, Knott’s Merry Farm’s Christmas Ice Show is now a holiday tradition in Southern California. This season’s offering, “It’s Christmas, Snoopy!” features a cast of 11 professional skaters and is performed in the 2,100-seat Charles M. Schulz Theatre. The show is a feast for the eyes with dazzling sets and colorful costumes as Snoopy and his PEANUT friends take to the ice in search of the true meaning of Christmas! The thirty five minute show is filled with such traditional favorites as “White Christmas” as well as some pop favorites such as “I Want Candy.” The show also features clips from the animated feature “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” live doves and even “snow!”

One of my favorites is the Ghost Town and Calico Railroad which celebrates Christmas on Engine 41. Calico Steam Train is pulling out of the station and it’s time to gather your packages and experience a Calico Christmas! There’s a whole cast of characters ready to brighten your holidays with Christmas cheer and traveling adventures. Climb aboard a vintage railcar and meet an ever-changing group of Ghost Town residents eager to share their Christmas plans with you.
