CHRISTMAS at Lightfoot Farms: Goat Cuddles Bunny Snuggles Hot Cocoa Bonfire
Overview
Welcome to Wake Up With The Farm, Christmas styles with Goat Cuddles • Lamb Snuggles • Holiday Crafts • Cocoa by the Bonfire
December 19 & 20 — 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM
Lightfoot Farms — Nokomis, FL
Come experience a Christmas celebration filled with simplicity, joy, and hands-on wonder, as we wake up the farm together (ducklings/chicks, feed and snuggle bunnies, bottle feed our baby goats, see our cows gallop up for their breakfast, make a mud bath for our pigs, hand feed and pet our baby lambs...)
This is not another commercial holiday event — it is a peaceful, family-centered gathering where children can slow down, breathe, and experience the beauty of the season through nature and animals.
✨ What’s Included:
Morning Rounds is where the farm truly comes alive—walking station to station, greeting each animal, learning its story, and feeding it with your own hands. It’s the most joyful, immersive way to start a Christmas farm day together.
Nativity Animal Encounters: Meet and pet the animals that echo the first Christmas — lambs, goats, sheep, bunnies, and our bottle baby calf, Ezra.
Christmas Storytime Under the Oaks: Read your child a Christ-centered Christmas story.
Ornament Crafting Station: Make keepsake nature-based ornaments
BONFIRE: Hot Cocoa + Roast your own sliced apple and cinnamon.
Cozy treats, s’mores, and warm conversation around the fire.
