HOW TO PREP FOR YOUR HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE AT SOUTH CROSS
We are thrilled to welcome you to South Cross Homestead for your Christmas Hallmark Experience! To ensure a smooth and magical visit, here’s a guide to the flow of your festive day:
Arrival:
Please arrive 15 minutes early to maximize our time, and to ensure a relaxed start. It also allows for any last-minute adjustments and helps the kids get comfortable! Upon arrival, you’ll find signs directing you to designated parking areas. For everyone’s safety, we kindly ask you to keep your speed extremely slow, as there will be many people enjoying the grounds. If you encounter any parking challenges, our friendly Elf “Chrissy” is just a quick phone call away at 705-931-0192 and will be happy to assist. *PETS: they are absolutely welcome, but kindly ensure they’re kept on a leash throughout the session. For the safety and consideration of all involved, pets won’t be permitted inside any buildings.
Photo Session in the Front Living Room:
Your Christmas adventure kicks off with a 10-minute photo session inside the cozy front living room. We’ll capture heartwarming family moments, take a peek at the beautifully adorned tree, and, to add to the magic, Santa himself will make a special appearance for a quick hug and photo!
Transition to More Festive Fun:
After the photo session, your next stop is at the back door. Our second photographer, Nicole, will be there ready to snap a couple more cuddly photos. And guess what? A tractor will be waiting for you, offering a quick ride to your next magical destination.
Tractor Ride to the Centre Piece Christmas Workshop with Kelly from Sanctuary:
Hop on the tractor for a delightful spin around the property, soaking in the festive atmosphere. Your journey will lead you to the Centerpiece Christmas Workshop with Kelly from Sanctuary.
