Holiday Season at Fair Oaks Farms
This holiday season, Fair Oaks Farms transforms into your ultimate festive escape — a place where cherished traditions come alive and magical new memories are made. From sparkling lights across our scenic campus to immersive adventures, unforgettable dining, and cozy spaces to gather with loved ones, we’ve created an all-encompassing destination for families, friends, and guests of every age.
A note about Forest of Lights: We know the Forest of Lights has been a cherished part of many families’ holiday traditions, which makes this difficult to share: we won’t be able to offer it this season. Between weather dependency and the costs involved, we’ve had to make the tough call to step back from this program.
We haven’t taken this lightly. Instead, we’ve reimagined our entire campus for the holidays—from the Miracle® pop-up bar to s’mores by the bonfire, decorated tractors, and our most festive Farmhouse dining room yet. We hope these new traditions will become part of your family’s holiday story.
Farmhouse Dining and Christmas Carolers
The Farmhouse will be decorated beyond anything we’ve done before, creating a festive atmosphere for every meal. Whether you’re gathering with a large party or keeping it intimate, spend an evening in our spectacularly decorated space. The Farmhouse offers the perfect setting for memorable holiday celebrations. Christmas carolers from local schools will fill the Farmhouse with the sounds of the season as an uplifting part of your dinner experience on Thursdays and Sundays in December. As always, dinner reservations are recommended at the Farmhouse.
Christmas Carolers Dates
December 4, 7, 11, 14, 18 and 21
Igloo Dining Experience
For an igloo dining experience that’s as unique as it’s cozy, reserve a table in one of our private Farmhouse Igloos. These private, full-service dining spaces provide gourmet food under the sky and stars, surrounded by the beauty of a winter countryside. They are settled in the Farmhouse Backyard, featuring both the full dining menu and bar menu with tastefully designed decor made to feel like home.
Miracle® Holiday Pub & Bonfires
Located inside the Feedbarn, Miracle® offers a unique holiday experience for pre- or post-dinner drinks and casual food. Step into our holiday wonderland where nostalgic décor, twinkling lights, and vintage garlands create the perfect backdrop. Sip festive cocktails and mocktails served in signature glassware while enjoying comfort food favorites like golden grilled cheese and quesadillas. Cozy bonfires near the Miracle® Holiday Pub offer the perfect spot for s’mores. Whether you’re celebrating with friends over craft cocktails or enjoying a relaxed family meal, Miracle® blends holiday enchantment with casual dining.
