Foodie Guide to Taste of Merry Farm

It’s the merriest and most delicious time of the year! Knott’s Berry Farm welcomes an all-new outdoor holiday dining event, Taste of Merry Farm, November 20-January 3. Here’s the full food guide to the event!

As a Knott’s Ambassador, I receive complimentary admission to the park. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Calling all foodies! If you’ve been on Santa’s Nice List, this post is for you! Knott’s Berry Farm is offering foodies another fun-filled opportunity to celebrate with an outdoor dining and shopping event while the theme park remains closed.

Off the heels of Knott’s successful new “Taste” experiences, Knott’s Berry Farm is excited to announce a new seasonal food and retail event, this time celebrating the merriest season of all, with Knott’s Taste of Merry Farm.  While the theme park remains closed, Christmas spirit still shines bright this year with holiday charm brimming out of every corner of the park, as Knott’s wondrously transforms with enchanted décor, thousands of twinkling lights, miles of festive garland, and a variety of picturesque holiday settings, all serving as a backdrop to the tastiest holiday foods around. With over 60 unique food and drink items offered on the tasting card, guests can choose from popular flavors of the season like Fully Loaded Turkey Dinner Tater Tots and Comet’s Cinnamon Bun with a Maple Glaze and Candied Pecans, plus options for all dietary preferences. Guests can take care of their holiday shopping at Knott’s one-of-a-kind stores filled with exclusive Knott’s specialty items or discover rare, handmade, and personalized gifts from over 23 artisan local crafters, including Knott’s famous glassblower and chainsaw carver.
