Ottawa's 'A Country Christmas' Is A Holiday Wonderland With A Wall Of Gifts & Santa's Elves

Wagon rides through the snow & cups of hot cocoa await! ❄️

Staff Writer

Make it a December to remember. Saunders Farm's A Country Christmas Daytime returns this winter, and it is like a trip to the North Pole.

You'll be able to visit the Ottawa farm on Saturdays and Sundays from December 4 to 19 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Some of the festive activities you can look forward to are wagon rides, getting lost in snow-covered hedge mazes, and taking a selfie next to a wall of presents.

Plus, you'll be able to meet Santa and the elves.

Before you go, you can also buy seasonal desserts and even a Christmas tree for your home.

Tickets are already on sale for a timed entry and are $24 per person.
