Knott’s Taste of Merry Farm

Tis the season for another food and shopping event at Knott’s Berry Farm. After three successful events in the “Taste of” series, Knott’s brings the flavors of the holiday season to guests with an all-new Taste of Merry Farm. Explore the expanded menu and fun planned at Knott’s Taste of Merry Farm.

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

With theme parks like Knott’s Berry Farm shuttered due to the novel coronavirus, the creative teams at Knott’s have curated three successful food events. The Taste of Calico brought guests into the ghost town for their first strolls and sips back in the park. The event expanded to Taste of Knott’s, incorporating the Boardwalk area and additional theme park classic flavors. Both brought in the boysenberry dishes planned for the cancelled Boysenberry Festival. The third event, Taste of Fall-O-Ween, sold out even as additional dates were added.

With each subsequent event, the food offerings increased as did the celebration. With the current pattern, I’m anxiously awaiting the next event, Knott’s Taste of Merry Farm! It’s going to be the merriest place to be this holiday season.

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.

Taste of Merry Farm Decor

Knott’s Berry Farm always captures the charm of the holidays with gorgeous decor. Oversized garlands, twinkling lights, and classic bows fill Calico.

Each of the distinct zones of Knott’s offers a new look. I have loved the retro feel of Boardwalk in years past! This year, expect even more holiday decor. As we saw with Taste of Fall-O-Ween, Knott’s has stepped up its game with decorating the park.

The kid-friendly Camp Snoopy area is being transformed into a Winter Wonderland with penguins running the show.

With food, shopping, and family fun, Knott’s Taste of Merry Farm is a must visit this holiday season. Tickets will likely sell out, so make sure to head to Knotts.com for tickets and more information.
