Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park turns into Knott’s Merry Farm on Friday, November 20, 2026. The holiday season runs through January 3, 2027, at 8039 Beach Blvd.
The park adds winter decorations with lights and jumbo snowflakes, and a giant Christmas tree lights up the midway.
For families
Shows include Home for the Holidays, a musical revue with Christmas songs, dancing toys and snow, and the return of the ice show with the Peanuts Gang and professional skaters. Santa’s Christmas Cabin is back, and the Calico streets host a Christmas Crafts Village and a Snow and Glow experience. Each night ends with a parkwide holiday lighting moment.
Seasonal food includes dishes sold only during the event, such as a meatball hoagie with cranberry gastrique and mashed potatoes.

Live shows, light displays, select activities and most rides are included with park admission. Food, drinks, merchandise and some holiday experiences cost extra. Daily tickets, season passes and memberships are sold through Knott’s, and daily hours are posted on the park calendar.
