It may be only the middle of November but it’s never too early to start counting down the days to Christmas. The holiday season is just around the corner (or already here, depending on who you ask), so it’s time to think about all of the holiday activities you’d like to check out this year. Something that should be near the top of your list is a visit to a wonderful Christmas village like the one featured below. This quaint attraction is bursting with holiday cheer and it’s a great place to create some long-lasting family memories. Take a look!
There are a lot of Santa villages scattered around Northern California, but one of the most delightful is Santa's Tree Farm and Village in Half Moon Bay.
This family owned and operated choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm first opened back in 1972. It's become a treasured tradition for many families since, and it's more than worthy of a visit this year.
This place is much more than a Christmas tree farm. It's your go-to place for holiday cheer! The 70-acre farm boasts all sorts of Christmas-themed attractions and activities. Explore them all via the trackless train that winds its way along the tree fields.
Enjoy a cup of complimentary hot apple cider while taking in the company of beloved characters such as Frosty the Snowman or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. This is the type of place that will leave both kids and adults absolutely thrilled and feeling the joys of holiday spirit.
The farm also boasts an Elves Workshop where you can observe Santa's little elves working away while creating handmade wreaths and garland. There is also a Sleigh Bells Gift Shop where you'll find a variety of ornaments and other Christmas decor begging to be taken home by you.
Of course, Santa Claus himself is bound to make an appearance so be sure to have your wishlist ready. You can even stop by Mrs. Claus' kitchen and pick up some of the best-tasting Christmas cookies you've ever had.
Santa's Tree Farm and Village is open from November 17 through December 24. They are open on weekdays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and weekends from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Be sure to check out their website here for a heads up of when you can expect Santa to visit. Make this holiday season one to remember and pay this magical Christmas village a visit!
You'll find Santa's Tree Farm and Village conveniently located on Highway 92 in Half Moon Bay. The address is 78 Pilarcitos Creek Rd, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019.
