About this adventure

Shady Elms Farm in Hickory holds its Christmas Festival the weekend before Thanksgiving, pairing a holiday vendor show with activities for children. Parents can shop hand-picked local vendors for gifts, decor and food and warm up with an espresso while kids meet strolling characters, among them Belle, Buddy the Elf, Jovie and Santa and Mrs. Claus, and have their picture taken with Santa. For an extra fee children can join a ticketed workshop: Milk & Cookies with Santa, where the elves hand each child a surprise before Santa and Mrs. Claus sit down for milk and cookies, or a 30-minute Princess Party with games, songs, books and pictures led by Royal Princess Engagements. Saturday and Sunday are the family days; the Friday evening preview is a shopping night with hors d'oeuvres and champagne aimed at adults.
