Granite Belt Christmas Farm

Applethorpe

Updated: Dec 26, 2025

Granite Belt Christmas Farm is a magical year-round Christmas wonderland - Queensland's very own version of Santa's Village in the North Pole - and just an easy day trip from Brisbane.

Entry to Granite-Belt-xmas-farm-village

Whilst it keeps the celebratory spirit alive all year, including Easter & Christmas-in-July themed fun, the Christmas Farm comes into its own in the festive season. 

Decorations in store Granite-Belt-xmas-farm-village

From mid-November it's Harvest season, with the farm's fields of full-grown Christmas trees available to choose and collect, and the Mistletoe Store packed with more than 20.000 Christmas decorations.

Whilst you're there you can enjoy a picnic amongst the Christmas trees or dine in Mrs Claus Kitchen, which is open for breakfast, morning tea, lunch & afternoon tea, serving delicious meals and treats (including Rudolph's ice-cream bar) as well as a range of hot cocoas from the Cocoa Bar.

And no visit to the farm would be complete without meeting and feeding Santa's animals (sheep, donkeys, deer, turkeys and chickens) with feed bags available for purchase.
