Updated: Nov 05, 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.
