The magic of Christmas returns to Summerfield Farms for our 11th Annual Santa & S'mores celebration, proudly presented by Pest Management Systems Inc. (PMi)! From November 28th through December 7th, we invite families to experience one of our most cherished holiday traditions, filled with twinkling lights, festive treats, familiar farm friends, and a very special visit with Santa Claus himself! Santa is making his journey from the North Pole to The Barn at Summerfield Farms, and this year, we're bringing back some beloved favorites while introducing exciting new experiences designed to make your family's visit even more magical. Whether you're continuing a treasured family tradition or visiting for the very first time, we can't wait to celebrate the wonder of Christmas with you! ✨ NEW for 2026: More Magic, Less Waiting! We've listened to your feedback, and we're making this year's Santa & S'mores experience better than ever! 🎄 A Special Visitor from the North Pole: Mrs. Claus! Our dear friends Anna and Elsa have been called back to Arendelle for some important royal holiday preparations, but they've made sure the Christmas magic continues at Summerfield Farms! This year, we're delighted to welcome someone very special from the North Pole... MRS. CLAUS IS COMING TO THE FARM! Mrs. Claus will be joining us in The Tent, where families can enjoy festive conversations, memorable photo opportunities, and a little extra Christmas cheer while waiting for their visit with Santa. She's bringing plenty of holiday spirit, warm smiles, and a whole lot of Christmas magic! 🐐 You Asked, We Listened: The Farm Animals Are BACK! One of our favorite parts of Summerfield Farms is sharing the charm of farm life with our community, and we're thrilled to bring that experience back to Santa & S'mores! After hearing how much families missed our four-legged friends, we're excited to announce that our beloved farm animals are returning for 2026! Enjoy this special part of the Farm as you make your way through your family's holiday adventure. ⏰ NEW! 15-Minute Arrival Windows We're introducing a new ticketing experience designed to help families spend less time waiting and more time enjoying the magic!
