123 Farm Christmas Nights With Kids

Published: 11/21/22

Nothing rings in the Holiday Season better than a well-done Christmas Event. And we appreciate the places like the 123 Farm’s Christmas Lights Festival in Cherry Valley, ca, that go all out to make something special for families to enjoy. Predominantly known for its lavender fields, 123 Farm is located on Highland Springs Ranch and Inn. Throughout the year, they host five different festivals. For Christmas, they blanket their property with over 1,000,000 white lights. Creating quite a few jaw-dropping spots for photos on a property that’s fun to explore with friends during the holidays.

What We Said In Our 123 Farm Christmas Nights Video

We think it’s best to start in the central area under the giant trees when you arrive. The spot has a handful of food options and seating to relax. There you’ll find the rentable s’more pits that can be reserved online for 50 minutes and include supplies for up to 6 guests.

Three of our favorite photo opportunities also encircle that area. Our favorite is the Large Willow Tree light decoration, which is beautiful to see in person and great for photos. Another one would be the completely lit-up lavender field near the property’s front. It’s an awe-inspiring site, and the large open space has a magical feel to it. The third spot is on the way bright white Santa sign, where you’ll come upon a couch, table, and chandelier perfectly set up for a photo inside the rows of olive trees.

Exploring out past the willow tree will bring you into more kids-friendly areas like the Christmas Village, where you’ll find a handful of Christmas-themed shops and a life-sized gingerbread house. That area also has a gorgeous arched hallway covered in lights that you won’t want to miss, and the kids will enjoy looking for elves in ELVESVILLE and searching for the exit in the pallet maze.

While we didn’t check out the inside of many of the buildings, we did visit the hotel entrance and lobby, which is completely decked out for the holidays their eatery has a full menu and alcoholic drinks if you’re looking for additional food options outside of the main areas.

Our group had a great time, and we’re sure the Holiday cheer will only increase as we get closer to Christmas.
