There's snow in the forecast, chill in the air and Thanksgiving on the horizon; so you know that Christmas feeling is getting ready to burst with joy.

If you live in the north towns, there will be a new Christmas festival opening at the Great Pumpkin Farm site in Clarence this holiday season.

The news of the festival first came last year and earlier this year but now, the festival is just a couple weeks away from being a reality.

Santa's Christmas Land officially opens on Black Friday and it's specialty is lights. Over one million lights to witness.

They also have a Christmas hayride, gingerbread walk-through display, and elf bakery, gift shop, treats and of course, meet Santa!

The site is open Friday through Sunday every weekend up until the week of Christmas.

To find out more about Santa's Christmas Land and to purchase tickets, visit their website.

I can't wait for all these amazing Christmas festivals in Western New York. They're such wonderful places for families during the holiday season.
