Oxford, NC – Granville’s award-winning Haunt Farm trades its spooky vibes for a sparkle-filled celebration this winter as it transforms into the Granville Christmas Farm — a dazzling drive-through experience filled with festive lights, classic holiday scenes, and plenty of Christmas cheer for the whole family.

Each December, the same fields that once echoed with Halloween screams become a glowing landscape of twinkling lights and merry magic. Guests can drive through thousands of lights synchronized across brilliant displays, from candy canes and Christmas trees to Santa and his reindeer.

The farm’s light show brings favorite holiday movie moments to life — including A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Christmas Story, and more. Every night, Santa Claus himself greets visitors, spreading joy and posing for photos from a safe distance.

Admission is priced per vehicle, based on passenger count, making it an affordable family outing. After enjoying the display, visitors are encouraged to continue their festive journey through downtown Oxford, where historic homes along College Street shine bright with beautifully decorated façades and front yards.
