A Casual Christmas is a magical and unique Christmas experience sure to bring out the child in you. Our event takes place on a working farm in Clements, MD. Walk through our beautifully decorated equestrian barn where you can vote on your favorite stall, visit with friendly horses, shop from local vendors and artist and stop to see Santa. Just outside you will find face painting, hot chocolate, hay rides, pony rides, petting zoo, axe throwing, inflatables and more!
Inside our barn you will find our Veteran Tree, which allows our guest to "adopt" a veteran and purchase them a Christmas gift this holiday season. In 2023, we were able to give Christmas gifts to 46 home-town heroes at our local Charlotte Hall Veterans Home in Charlotte Hall, MD. We also have collection bins for non-perishable food items for St. Mary's Caring Soup Kitchen and pet food donations for local animal shelters in the Tri-County area. All donations collected are hand delivered by myself and our family.
