Christmas Land ~ Altamont, NY

I get so excited to share amazing destinations with my readers, and Christmas Land is one of these places that is just awesome; I hope that everyone gets the opportunity to visit this season. Christmas Land is everything that’s great about Christmas and the Holiday Season. This one of a kind destination is full of holiday magic that brings back the nostalgia of an old-fashioned Christmas.

The Dream Behind Christmas Land

To call Christmas Land a labor of love doesn’t even begin to cover the passion, dedication, and imagination that went into creating this fun family destination. Paula Tambasco & Michelle Annese, the owners and creators of this magical place, were inspired by the Hallmark Movie of the same name, Christmas Land. They dreamed of creating a family fun destination that would bring joy and spread the Christmas spirit to all who visited. That dream became a reality and now Christmas Land is back for its 8th season, and it is bigger and better than ever.

Getting Into The Christmas Spirit

A visit to Christmas Land feels like taking a trip to the North Pole. There is so much to see and do – Purchase a Christmas Land Passport to participate in all the fun. Passports include a visit with Santa (and photo), a ride on Frankie the Train, cookie decorating, Santa hat making, ornament making, decorating a frame for your commemorative Santa photo, & hot cocoa.

Guests can also enjoy the beautifully decorated grounds covered in lights. Sit by the fire and listen to Christmas music while enjoying freshly made wood-fire pizza and delicious Christmas cookies. Take a Horse Drawn Sleigh ride or wagon ride if there is no snow (extra fee.)

Friday Night Lights – Stop by and enjoy the beautiful holiday lights at Christmas Land every Friday night from 5 PM – 7 PM. Relax by the firepit and enjoy the sounds of the season while munching on Christmas cookies and hot cocoa. This is also a great time to do some Christmas shopping at the gift shop and bakery.
