All aboard for the third annual Christmas at the Santa Margarita Ranch, presented by Vintage Traditions Foundation and AGM Community Partners. Step back in time aboard the Pacific Coast Railroad’s Jingle Bell Express for a magical ride through the ranch to Santa’s Village, where holiday displays, crafts, and a visit with Santa await.
Enjoy festive shopping at the holiday marketplace, featuring locally made gifts and rotating vendors, plus expanded food and drink options with food trucks, snacks, s’mores by the fire pits, and seasonal beverages. Guests can also take part in games and activities for all ages, from bocce ball and cornhole to hand-led pony rides and a real handcar experience.
Entertainment continues with a free magic show by Andy Morris, along with new surprises debuting in 2025. Whether you’re bringing the family or planning a cozy holiday date night, this cherished Central Coast tradition promises unforgettable memories.
