The Magic of the Christmas Trail at Cavella’s Farm
We have to admit, we were blown away by the Christmas Trail! We didn’t know what to expect, but as soon as we began walking the trail, we were hooked! The magic was real, and it felt like stepping into a holiday wonderland. As we wandered through the trail, we discovered all sorts of enchanting scenes and displays, and we can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself!
The trail took us back to some of our favorite holiday movies in real time.
– The Grinch’s lair from “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”
– A towering Abominable Snowman from the classic holiday special
– Ebenezer Scrooge’s haunted mansion from “A Christmas Carol”
– The whimsical world of ” ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”
– Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and his friends from the beloved animated special
-A charming Dickens-themed village
-All Aboard the Polar Express Train Ride, where you will received a golden ticket just like the movie.
It was magical and totally worth the cost. Just imagine how much time, effort, and creativity it took for the family and team to bring this all to life.

Calleva Farms is a family-owned and operated farm that provides a fun and festive holiday experience for visitors of all ages. As we left Christmas at Calleva Farm, we couldn’t help but feel a little sad that it will only be open to the public for two weekends in December. This Christmas village was truly spectacular, and we’re already counting down the days until next year!
We think the team did a fantastic job, considering it was their first year hosting Calleva Christmas. To make it even better next year, we’d love to see the event run until the weekend before or after Christmas. Additionally, more food options, possibly through partnerships with local food trucks, would help manage crowds and lines. Drink stations with hot tea, coffee, and soft drinks would also be great.
Opening one to two weeks before Thanksgiving for the Christmas Tree Sale would allow families to explore the village and buy their trees before the big holiday. Other than that, we’re hooked! Christmas at Calleva Farm is officially a new family tradition, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year!
