At least 3.5 to four inches of snow must blanket the ground. Forecasted temperatures must also be low enough that the snow won’t melt.

If you’re taking a private ride, you’ll climb aboard the sleigh with your party. Wrap yourself in a cozy Victorian-era blanket as the two horses begin their trot around the 200-acre farm.
