Get ready for the most amazing Christmas festival in Northeast Florida! Ancient City Farmstead is thrilled to bring the 3rd Annual Christmas Experience to St. Augustine, Florida—a holiday spectacle so packed with family fun that you're liable to find yourself on the naughty list! Come see the region's tallest decorated Christmas tree, Santa's Workshop, and even skate on a synthetic ice skating rink!

December 12-13 and 18-22, 2026

The Christmas Experience is open for the holiday season on Fridays from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 3 to 9 p.m.

This Christmas Wonderland, happening at the Farmstead, located at 395 St Marks Pond Blvd in St. Augustine features fun for all:
- Experience nightly lighting ceremonies of the region’s tallest decorated Christmas tree - just like Rockefeller Center without the trip to NYC!
- Visit Santa in his workshop to make sure you’ve secured your spot on the nice list and tell him everything you want this Christmas.
- Roast marshmallows over the giant fire pit with friends, old and new.
- Compete in free reindeer games and win prizes.
Sip on hot cocoa and snack on seasonal concessions.
- Take the festive feeling home when you pick out the perfect Christmas tree from the forest of 2,000+ spruce trees.
- Lace up your skates and flaunt your stuff on Florida’s only outdoor skating rink!

Photo opps, memories to last a lifetime - and free onsite parking! - abound.
