The magic of Christmas begins at Shady Brook Farm in Yardley, Pennsylvania. The farm is host to a magical light display that you can ride through in your own vehicle or as a hayride drawn by a tractor.
The light display features dozens of different Christmas themes, including the 12 Days of Christmas, candy canes, famous movie characters and legendary storybooks. The 12 Days of Christmas start off the holiday light show as you drive deeper into the farm. The ride lasts roughly 20 minutes, whether you take your own vehicle or jump on a hayride.

The Magic of Christmas: It’s Santa!
There is plenty to enjoy at Shady Brook Farm during the Christmas season, including shopping, smores over open bonfires, a lighted decorative walking path, farm animals, libations, snacks and even Santa Claus!
Santa can be found in the heated tent/store adjacent to the main store at the farm. He sits on a beautiful red velvet throne and is surrounded by his helpful elves. You can purchase a package of pictures available in print form and digital files.

Prepare for Crowds
We visited Shady Brook Farm this weekend, which wound up being opening night. We were presently surprised at how empty the place was. It won’t last long, though. The farm gets crazy busy after Thanksgiving. If you plan on going, be prepared to sit in traffic leading to the farm from both directions.
In the height of the magic of Christmas, Shady Brook Farm can be packed. You are often walking shoulder to shoulder on the grounds, in the store, and in the parking lots. However, the team there runs a tight ship, so do not let any of this deter you. Secure your tickets to this year’s Shady Brook Farm holiday light show before it’s too late.
