PHOTOS: North Okanagan ranch rounds up Victorian Christmas

Historic O’Keefe Ranch has plenty of old-fashioned fun and traditions running the next two weekends

Chestnuts literally roasting over an old-fashioned fire are part of the fun and tradition at Historic O’Keefe Ranch in Spallumcheen during their Victorian Christmas weekends.

This year’s event started Dec. 3 and 4, continues this Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 10 and 11, and wraps up Dec. 17 and 18 with a bonfire, s’mores, roasting chestnuts on an open fire, wagon rides, letters to Santa, gingerbread house competition and photos with Father Christmas.

The O’Keefe Ranch remains pet friendly with furry family members welcome, (but on a leash, please).

Victorian Christmas also provides a great opportunity for pet owners to have photos of Santa with their pet. Outside of Victorian Christmas, the O’Keefe Ranch allows pets on a leash during daylight hours even when closed.

Returning in 2022 for a second year is cookie train building for kids. Cost to families is $5 per kit.

Victorian Christmas runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is by donation.
