The holiday season hits different when you spend it on a family farm surrounded by animals, fresh air, and the rolling hills of southeastern Ohio. If you are planning a Hocking Hills Christmas this year, we have two dates for our ticketed annual Christmas on the Farm event at Fox’s High Rock Farm: November 28 and December 12, 2026. Both events bring holiday activities, seasonal treats, and festive lights to the farm for an experience you will not find anywhere else in the region.
Our farm sits on OH-664 in Logan, Ohio, right in the heart of the Hocking Hills region. During the regular season, families can visit to pet and brush our goats, feed the alpacas, hold baby animals, and try their hand at gem mining. Christmas on the Farm takes that hands-on energy and wraps it in holiday spirit, giving you a reason to come back (or visit for the first time) during the winter months.
What Is Christmas on the Farm?
Christmas on the Farm is our annual holiday celebration, held on two dates this year: November 28 and December 12, 2026. This is a ticketed event, separate from regular admission, so you will need to purchase tickets ahead of time through our events page.
The farm transforms for the holidays. Expect seasonal treats, Christmas lights, and special surprises designed for families. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and you will get to enjoy the farm in a way that feels completely different from a summer visit. The cozy winter backdrop makes for great family photos, and children light up when they see the animals in a festive setting.
Tickets are limited. We recommend buying early to secure your spot, especially for the November 28 date, which falls on the Saturday during Thanksgiving weekend.
Why Choose a Farm for Holiday Activities in Hocking Hills?
Hocking Hills is packed with Christmas activities every year. You can catch a ride on the Hocking Hills Christmas train through the scenic railway in Nelsonville, browse Christmas treasures at the local Hocking Hills shops and stores, walk through Christmas lights at area displays, or book a cozy Christmas cabin in Hocking Hills for the weekend.
What makes Christmas on the Farm different is that you are here with the animals, outdoors, doing something together as a family. You are not watching from behind a rope or sitting in a seat. You are on the farm, interacting with the goats, alpacas, and donkeys in a setting that feels personal and real.
Our family has been welcoming visitors here for years, and we take pride in making every guest feel at home.
Meet Our Animals During the Holidays
Our animals are here all winter. During Christmas on the Farm, you will have the chance to see and interact with our goats, alpacas, donkeys, pigs, sheep, and cows. The animals are well cared for and used to visitors, so even younger children can feel comfortable getting close.
Winter animal encounters have a different feel than summer visits. The farm is quieter, the crowds are smaller, and you can take your time with each animal. If you have a favorite (many families come back specifically for our donkeys or alpacas), you can spend as much time with them as you like.
For families with kids, meeting farm animals during the holiday season creates memories that go beyond any gift. There is no screen involved, and no app to download. Just real animals, fresh air, and genuine interaction.
Private Farm Tours: A Holiday Gift Idea
If Christmas on the Farm sounds great but you want something more personal, our private tours are available from November through March. These tours last up to 90 minutes and give your group exclusive access to the farm and all of our animals.
Private tour pricing:
- Up to 6 guests: $150
- 7 guests: $170
- 8 guests: $190
For groups larger than 8, email us at info@foxshighrockfarm.com to discuss arrangements.
Private tours are typically available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, though we may be able to accommodate other days depending on availability. During the tour, you will get to feed the animals, enter the animal pens for a closer experience, and ask as many questions as you want. After the tour, you receive 15% off anything in our gift shop.
A private tour makes a great holiday gift for animal lovers, families, or anyone looking for an experience instead of another item under the tree. You can purchase a tour and wrap it up as a Christmas gift, then schedule it for any available date through March.
