12 Best Holiday Treats at Knott's

’Tis the season for the largest Christmas celebration ever at Knott’s Berry Farm! Each year, the park undergoes a whimsical holiday transformation to celebrate the wonder of the season. The winter wonderland shines with thousands of twinkling lights and a picture-perfect backdrop that radiates the spirit of Christmas. Knott’s Merry Farm’s timeless classics, including Merry Christmas, Snoopy!, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and O. Henry’s A Gift of the Magi are perfectly complemented by more modern Peanuts-inspired holiday shows such as It’s the Merriest Christmas Show Ever, Charlie Brown and A Peanuts Guide to Christmas. Take a stroll through Calico and experience a magical snowfall…then warm up with hot chocolate at Santa’s Christmas Cabin. After all, it is the merriest time of the year! While at Santa’s Christmas Cabin, take a photo with Old St. Nick, then fuel up on one of Knott’s Merry Farm’s decadent holiday treats!
