Cozy Cow Christmas Festival 2026: Dates, Tickets & Tips

The Cozy Cow Christmas Festival is Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures' Christmas event in Kissimmee: a tractor-pulled hayride through lights and falling snow, a visit with the baby highland cows at Mini Moo Land, and holiday arts and crafts, all on one ticket. It runs on 28 select nights from November 20, 2026 to January 3, 2027, from 5 to 9 PM.

Everything below was checked against Boggy Creek's festival page on November 12, 2026. Adventures in Orlando is not the ticket office; Boggy Creek sells the tickets, and the festival is weather dependent, so confirm your night on their page before you drive out.

What nights is the Cozy Cow Christmas Festival open?

There are 28 nights, and every one runs 5 to 9 PM:

• November 20 to 29: every night except Wednesday, November 25. It is open Thanksgiving night, Thursday, November 26.
• Saturday, December 5 and Saturday, December 12.
• December 18 to January 3: every night, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.

That makes it one of the few things near Orlando you can do on the evening of Thanksgiving and on Christmas Day itself. For the rest of those days, see Thanksgiving in Orlando and what's open on Christmas Day.

How much are tickets?

• Adults, ages 11 and up: $34.99
• Kids, ages 4 to 10: $29.99
• Ages 3 and under: free

The ticket covers the Christmas hayride, Mini Moo Land and arts and crafts. The hayride is not sold by itself. A family of two adults and two kids ages 4 to 10 comes to $129.96 at those prices, before any tax or fees at checkout.

As of November 12, the festival page said tickets were going on sale soon. Boggy Creek recommends booking online, and you choose a hayride time when you book.

What is included with the ticket?

The Christmas hayride. You board the hay-bale wagon next to Mini Moo Land after dark. A tractor pulls you down the Mini Moo trail, where the story of the little Mini Moo plays out in lights and scenes among the cypress trees while snow falls. The trail ends at the barn.

Mini Moo Land. After the ride you meet the baby highland cows up close. Photos with the cows are free, and there is no photographer, so bring your own phone or camera.

Holiday arts and crafts for the whole family.

The rest of the property is decorated too, with Christmas lights and snow machines running beyond the trail.

Is the snow real?

It comes from snow machines, and it falls along the hayride trail and around the property. As Boggy Creek's page puts it: "Snow falling in Florida. Yes, really." If you want more ways to see snow here, we keep a list of where to find snow in Orlando.

What costs extra?

Two add-ons can be added to any festival ticket. Neither is sold without one.

• Arctic Airboat Expedition, $29.99 per person. A 20-minute open-air night airboat ride across the wetlands. It gets cold on the water after dark, so bring a jacket.
• Santa's Snowball Fight, $14.99 per person. A gel blaster arena where the "snowballs" are soft gel beads. The blaster, unlimited ammo and unlimited rounds are included. Eye protection is provided and required. All ages are welcome, and Boggy Creek recommends it for ages 9 and up.

S'mores, hot cocoa and food are sold on site and are not part of the ticket.

Tips before you go

• Arrive 15 minutes before your hayride time. The time is fixed when you book.
• Dress for a cold night outside, especially if you add the airboat. Everything here is outdoors.
• Charge your phone. The cow photos are free, and the hayride is the part people film.
• Parking is free.
• Watch the weather. If Boggy Creek cancels your visit because of weather, they refund or reschedule your tickets.
• Coming from Disney? Allow about 35 minutes.

Where is it?

Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures, 2001 E. Southport Rd., Kissimmee, FL 34746. It is the same property as the daytime airboat tours and Mini Moo Land, where the calf bottle feedings run during the day.
