Elf Mountain
Christmas is also back. The world famous Timber Mountain Log Ride

Guests can also experience the wonder of "Snoopy's Magical Nights of Lights." Hundreds of thousands of twinkling white and multicolored lights merrily light up the nighttime sky accompanied by
a festive soundtrack that brings the Christmas spirit alive from dusk to Park closing.
A trip to Knott's Merry Farm would not be complete without a visit with the man of the hour – Santa! Stop by
Santa's Toy Barn for a little one-on-one with the big guy. Here,
in Santa's cozy hideaway, kids can share their wish lists with St.
Nick, and Mom and Dad can take home a picture of the occasion
(photo requires additional fee).
Village guests can also indulge in the ultimate comfort foods with Knott's world-famous holiday treats,
including fresh-baked pies, cakes, cookies, muffins and gingerbread
men, as well as daily specials and the legendary cooking at Mrs. Knott's

Square. Join SNOOPY, LUCY, LINUS, SALLY and CHARLIE BROWN as they host a
song-and-dance show complete with carolers and a Christmas sing-along
then light a beautifully decorated Christmas
tree, November 22-December 24.
