It seems like 2016 just began, yet here we are with the start of Knott’s Berry Farm’s #MerryFarm event. There are a huge lineup of new shows, decorations and entertainment throughout Merry Farm, taking place now through January 8, 2017.

However, we are always most excited to see the specialty food lineup only available during Merry Farm.

Santa’s Cabin

Santa’s Cabin offers a variety of seasonal treats while getting to visit with the big man himself.

A milk and cookies combo is $3.29. Warm cookies are $2.49, milk is $2.49, egg nog is $3.49, and gluten free cookies are $2.49.

Seasonal eclairs

Fruit tarts

New this year is monkey bread which is a brown sugar, cinnamon pastry similar to a cinnamon bun, topped with boysenberry topping.

Roasted nuts

Everyone’s favorite Santa Snoopy cookies

This year Knott’s created special cups for Merry Farm where you can get specialty hot chocolates and coffee.

Seasonal cupcakes

Chocolate cake

Seasonal Food in the Park

Also new this year were turkey dinner bites located outside of Santa’s Cabin. For $6.99, you received three bites of turkey, potatoes & cranberry sauce rolled in bread crumbs & deep-fried, served alongside a hearty serving of gravy.

One of our personal favorite, maple syrup suckers.

There are so many great Merry Farm food options, and we love seeing all the new options. Which is your favorite item(s) this season?

A special thanks to Knott’s Berry Farm for hosting our visit and to Melodi Steinberg with Eat, Drink, OC for working as our sponsor for the event.
