The Santa Spectacular experience at Willows Activity Farm near St Albans is now under way.
The festive event began on Saturday, November 23, with cousins Olive, 3, and Ronald, 2, among the first to meet Father Christmas.
The toddlers stepped through the new Polar Portal into a winter wonderland filled with elves, gingerbread characters, and arctic animals.
"Once children have shared their Christmas wishes with Santa, each child receives a golden key which unlocks his toyshop where they are able to choose any gift to take home."
There is also a new pantomime, a Magical Puppet Snow Show, and the Create-a-Cuddle workshop.
Other activities include decorating gingerbread with Mrs Claus, writing letters to Santa, and enjoying a 3D festive film in the pop-up cinema.
The Santa Spectacular runs on selected dates until December 24 with tickets available from willowsactivityfarm.com.
