There’s something special about Christmas at Canatara Park. The smell of pine, the sound of carols drifting through the air, and the sparkle of lights reflected on the snow. This year, on December 5 and 6, families can once again experience the magic of Christmas on the Farm, one of Sarnia’s most beloved holiday events.

Hosted at the Seaway Kiwanis Children’s Animal Farm in Canatara Park, this long-running celebration invites visitors to step into a scene straight from a storybook, where community and holiday spirit come together most joyfully.

A Tradition 51 Years in the Making

For more than half a century, Christmas on the Farm has brought families together to celebrate the season surrounded by Sarnia’s natural beauty. It’s a time to slow down, sip something warm, and rediscover the simple joy of the holidays.

Guests can look forward to:

• Horse and Carriage Rides through Canatara Park’s twinkling trails
• Train Rides for kids (and kids at heart) around the farmyard
• Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
• Visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus are ready for photos, smiles, and Christmas wishes

Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, there’s always something magical about this blend of tradition, family fun, and festive cheer.
