Knott’s Berry Farm Boysenberry Festival 2023 Review

If someone were to ask me what my favorite time of year at Knotts Berry farm was, I honestly don’t think I would know how to answer because there are just so many amazing options to choose from. Do I go spooky and say Scary Farm? Do I embrace the magic of Knotts during the holidays and say Merry Farm? Or what about the undeniable magic of Ghost Town Alive?

Peanuts Celebration 2023 is BACK at Knott’s Berry Farm

This past weekend, we got the chance to check out Knott's Berry Farm while Peanuts Celebration was in full swing for 2023! In this house, we absolutely adore the Peanuts characters. They seem to find their way into so many different family traditions throughout the year. Whether that's watching It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown during Fall or watching A Charlie Brown Christmas during the holidays. There is always a time for the Peanuts Gang! So coming back to the Farm for another year of Peanuts Celebration got us excited because we've loved the events in the past and welcome any opportunity to inject the famous characters Charles Schulz imagined up back in 1950 to all corners of the park. And this year, Knott's has included some new offerings that we just adore.

On a cold night in December, we ventured out to Valencia to experience Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Magic Mountain. This even has always been a favorite of ours because of their unique decorations, thousands of twinkling lights, fun meet and greets, and the guest interactions.

And if our kiddo's reaction to snow in the park is any indication, we think she would agree with us as well. Below will be a Visit In Pictures of our time at SFMM for Holiday in the Park.
