BEYOND THE FARM
There’s always something special happening at the farm and beyond! Explore our lineup of featured guests, live shows, themed days, and after-hours events that make every visit a little more magical.
Deck the Hallmark is a beloved podcast known for its hilarious and heartfelt reviews of Hallmark Channel Christmas movies. Featured on Good Morning America and joined by Hallmark favorites like Andrew Walker and Tyler Hynes, the show has become a holiday tradition for fans everywhere. For this event, the hosts, Bran and Dan, will be reviewing the one of the new Hallmark movie releases, which airs one of the previous nights. The show will be held in the chapel and begin at precisely 3:30 PM, welcoming guests to settle in for an afternoon of laughter, holiday spirit, and behind-the-scenes fun. Door will open at 3:00 PM, following the conclusion of Christmas at the Farm. Separate tickets are required and can be purchased here. Complimentary hot chocolate will also be available for your enjoyment.
On December 6th, we’re celebrating “Foster the Joy” Day as part of our Christmas at the Farm event — a day dedicated to honoring our featured nonprofit, Lily Pad. Lily Pad provides comforting transitional rooms within DSS offices, offering children a safe and welcoming space during one of the hardest moments in their lives. To recognize the incredible families who open their hearts and homes, we’re inviting select foster families to join us as our special guests. Together, let’s foster joy, hope, and community this Christmas season.
We are thrilled to announce that renowned Christmas actress Jen Lilley will be joining us on Saturday, December 6th only during Christmas at the Farm this year! Jen is best known for her many warm-hearted roles in the holiday rom-com world (including Hallmark and Great American Christmas films like Mingle All the Way and Winter Love Story, as well as her earlier work on soap operas such as Days of Our Lives). In addition to her acting, Jen is also the author of Wake Up Your Faith: 365 Daily Encounters with Jesus, a devotional guide inviting readers on a year-long walk of faith, purpose, and renewal. What makes this visit especially meaningful: Jen is a proud foster and adoptive parent and will be joining us as a champion for our featured nonprofit this year, Lily Pad — we’re honored to welcome her as we highlight the hope and heart in foster care.
