Apple Holler, a family farm and entertainment destination in Sturtevant, WI, has launched a new holiday-themed event for families: the Holly Jolly Holiday Spectacular.
This interactive program includes a train ride, musical show, and various seasonal activities, running on Saturdays and Sundays until Christmas begins.
What the Event Includes
The experience starts at the Holiday Train Depot, where guests board the Candy Cane Express Train to Apple Holler’s North Pole Barn. At the barn, families watch a live show featuring storytelling, songs, and a visit from Santa. The program centers around themes of kindness and holiday spirit.
After the show, attendees can participate in hands-on activities such as decorating cookies and sipping warm spiced apple cider. Families will also find photo opportunities with Santa, his helpers, and festive props like Santa’s giant sleigh. Children can write letters to Santa and drop them in a designated mailbox on site.
Apple Holler also highlights its Golden Goat Bridge, where families can feed the farm’s goats as part of the experience.
Logistics and Cost
The Holly Jolly Holiday Spectacular takes place on December 14, 15, 21, and 22, with check-in at 9:30 AM and the event starting at 10:00 AM. Tickets cost $12.50 per person (plus tax) and must be purchased in advance.
