The holidays officially start November 30 at Sundrop Springs Farm in New Braunfels. Fans of the Hallmark vision of Christmas should feel warmed by this 22-acre, family-owned farm, which is getting festive with lights, family-friendly activities, live music, and more.

This is the first time "Christmas at the Farm" will be held at Sundrop Springs Farm, but the organizers hope this will become a new holiday tradition, according to a recent press release.

Visitors can expect a dazzling trail of lights that will wind through the woods on the property and light up the farm. There will be lots to do for all ages like feeding the farm animals, racing tricycles on the Tricycle Raceway, a playground, fire pits, and a giant jumping pillow for kids to bounce on. All the while, live holiday music fills the air.

Visitors can also take photos with the two giant troll sculptures on the land, Hugo and Pumpkin Jack. These two weren't crafted by renowned artist Thomas Dambo, who recently put a troll in Pease Park, but they do have a similar look.

There will also be hot chocolate, apple cider, food trucks, and of course, no holiday event would be complete without a visit from Santa himself.

Santa will stop by from 6-8 pm, but the event itself will last from 5-9 pm on the following weekends:

• November 30 and December 1
• December 7 and 8
• December 14 and 15
• December 21 and 22

Tickets start at just $7 for adults and $5 for children.

The people behind this event are the owners and operators of Sundrop Springs Farm, the Williams family. This family of four tends to goats, ducks, chickens, and a beloved donkey named SweetPea. The farm also hosts birthday parties, field trips, and seasonal events like this one.

Sundrop Springs Farm is located at 953 Hueco Springs Loop Road.
