BUENA PARK, Calif., Nov. 3, 2026 – The magic of the season will soon return as Knott's Merry Farm looks to welcome guests to a winter wonderland featuring millions of twinkling lights, festive décor, seasonal food and beloved holiday traditions beginning Nov. 20 through Jan. 3, 2027. Headlining this year's celebration will be the debut of Snoopy's Merry Christmas Follies, an all-new ice-skating spectacular at the Walter Knott Theater.
Raising the curtain on the most wonderful time of the year as 'Snoopy's Merry Christmas Follies' glides onto the ice in a dazzling new musical spectacular unlike anything ever seen before. This unforgettable production features a swinging vocal quartet performing beloved holiday classics, a dazzling line of high-kicking Follies dancers, a company of world-class ice skaters, and, of course, Snoopy and the beloved Peanuts Gang. Sparkling with timeless Christmas tunes, breathtaking skating, spectacular showmanship, and heartwarming holiday magic, the production is poised to deliver a festive celebration the whole family can treasure.
Holiday favorites are also slated to return throughout the park, including the heartwarming holiday production Home for the Holidays at the Calico Mine Stage, featuring dancing, holiday yules and seasonal celebrations. Throughout Ghost Town, the Calico Carolers are set to fill the streets with classic and contemporary holiday music, transporting guests to a Victorian-era Christmas celebration, while the Wandering Wranglers will bring their own holiday flair in Calico Park. Guests can also look forward to live music throughout the park, including Latin performances by Wayu Band, Adelaide Pilar and Junio in Fiesta Village.
Christmas in Calico continues as the Snow and Glow experience will fill the buildings and paths with thousands of lights dancing to the beat of Christmas music while “snow” gently falls throughout Ghost Town. The Wilderness Dance Hall transforms into Santa's Christmas Cabin, where the entire family can look forward to creating cherished memories by taking photos with Santa Claus and his friends. At The Bird Cage Theatre, Knott’s melodrama company will present a reimagined Charles Dickens classic, A Calico Christmas Carol. The theatre also features the heartwarming Knott's version of O. Henry's classic tale of love and sacrifice, The Gift of the Magi, 1885. Also in Ghost Town, the beloved Christmas Crafts Village returns with local artisans showcasing handcrafted gifts, holiday décor and unique seasonal treasures.
No holiday celebration is complete without festive treats, and Knott's Merry Farm is set to offer an assortment of seasonal flavors, sweet delights and holiday-inspired favorites throughout the park including Prancer’s pot roast tater tots, glazed ham sandwiches, hot chocolate churros and more.
