Christmas Village Nights 2026
Cottom Farm's Christmas Village opens for its 2026 Christmas Village Nights on Friday, December 4. The farm is open December 4 through 6 and again from December 11 through Christmas Eve, December 24, from 6 to 9 p.m. each night, according to the ticket page linked from the farm's official website.
The farm describes the evening as a relaxed, walk-through Christmas experience. Visitors walk the decorated Christmas Village, ride a hayride around the lake, visit Santa at Santa's Southern Home and shop the Merry Market, which has local vendors and the farm's Cocoa Cafe. Bounce houses and train rides for kids are included with admission for ages 4 and up.
Admission is $12 per person, and children 3 and under get in free; younger children who want the bounce houses or train need an arm band, and a signed waiver is required for both. Tickets can be bought online ahead of time, which the farm says helps speed up the entrance line. Online tickets are non-refundable.
Google Maps places the Christmas Village at 4650 Marion County Rd in Weirsdale, in southeastern Marion County near Lake Weir; the farm's own site uses a Lady Lake mailing address for the same location.
