Good morning everyone and Merry Christmas Eve! Today, I spent my day at Knott's Berry Farm, starting off at the nativity scene on Mission Trail. We explored the park, enjoying festive treats like Santa's milk and cookies at Ghost Town Bakery, and taking a Christmas Eve ride on the train. It was a great day filled with Christmas Joy and holiday traditions.
Later, we had a delicious lunch at Ghost Town Grill and enjoyed Snoopy's Night Before Christmas show at the Walter Knott Theater. We even tried the famous turkey ball at Gingerbread Lane and visited the Harper Home for some more holiday cheer. As the day came to an end, we made sure to stop by the nativity scene once again before leaving the park.
I started my day at Knots Mary Farm in front of the Nativity Scene, which has been in different locations throughout the years but has been on Mission Trail for the last few years. I absolutely love this scene, and it's a great way to start the day.
After starting our day at the Nativity Scene, we headed over to the Ghost Town Bakery where we had a burrito and tried Santa's milk and cookies. The bakery also had a temporary menu item, chicken lettuce wraps, which were absolutely delicious.
Up on the Sky Cabin, we could see LED lights on the side counting down to New Year's Eve. If you've never been to Knots on New Year's Eve, it's a ton of fun. We have a few videos from the past few years that you should check out.
Overall, Knots Mary Farm is a great place to spend Christmas Eve. From the delicious food to the festive decorations, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Don't forget to check out the shows, including Snoopies Night Before Christmas, and make sure to try the turkey ball from Gingerbread Lane or next to Santa's Christmas Cabin. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
