Christmas Light-Up & Shopping Night

Kick off the holidays with Merridale’s annual Christmas Light-Up, marking the official start of the festive season at the farm! Stroll through the orchard under the glow of thousands of lights, then head inside the Farmhouse for a cozy evening of local shopping and tastings. Sample your way through Merridale Makes favourites — jams, chutneys, butters, and wellness goodies — and find the perfect locally made gifts and stocking stuffers. Be the first to shop our InCider Christmas Deals, launching that night. Warm up with a hot apple cider, available for purchase in the Farmhouse. Enjoy it classic or spiked with Apple Jack Brandy or Spiced Rhumb, or sip one of your favourite Merridale ciders and mocktails as you shop and explore. The Christmas lights will continue to shine nightly through January 5, so you can visit all season long to take in the glow. Our holiday hours also begin November 15 — open 11am to 9pm, Monday to Sunday, with reservations available from 4–8pm and the last seating for the eatery at 8pm.
