 during our Hill Ridge Farms Festival of Lights!  
 
Enjoy over a million lights and holiday themed
 displays and characters as you make your way through the farm on an old-fashioned covered wagon ride!tractor

Hop aboard the Hill Ridge Farms Express!  train
and see another amazing display of Christmas cheer!

Next, watch the kiddos squeal with delight as the Carousel
 takes them round and round!

Even though Santa is very busy back at the North Pole and will not be at the farm each night, he was able to stop by earlier in the season and bring us a very special mailbox. Simply drop your letter to Santa in during your visit and with a little Christmas magic it will make it's way to the North Pole! Santa did want us to mention he also
 loves to receive drawings, paintings, anything that your little one would like to share.   

Don't forget to stop by Granny's Snack Shack during your visit for Hot Chocolate, Hot Apple Cider, and Our Famous Homemade Apple Cider Donuts.
Granny's Snack Shack also has everything you need to roast marshmallows and even make your very own
 S'more for an extra special treat!

Craving a Salty & Sweet treat? Crystal Coast Kettle Corn will be at the farm popping fresh kettle corn every night! Grab a bag for the wagon ride! Try some warm boiled peanuts! The perfect snack on a chilly night.  

Before heading home stop in the Country Store for all of your favorite old time candy, homemade fudge, preserves,
 gift items and More!
