Are there any Christmas tree farms in Arkansas?

Christmas Tree Lane in Ozark is a Christmas tree farm in the western area of the state. You can stay overnight in the charming rustic cabin while you’re there. Papa Santa’s Christmas Tree Farm is one of several in the middle part of Arkansas in Benton, and you’ll find Vandiver's NewCastle Farms as one of just a couple in the eastern portion in Forrest City.

What was the biggest snowfall in Arkansas?

Arkansas has seen some bad winter storms, including the Great Blizzard of 1899, which was a notorious storm for the entire country, even, with record-breaking temperatures. It was so cold mini icebergs formed on the Mississippi River and some parts of it completely froze. But it was in 2011 when it snowed 1-2 feet of snow in the northwestern areas of the state, making it the largest snowfall in Arkansas history. Other parts of the state also got record-breaking amounts of snow. This amount of snow is atypical for winters in this state, which doesn’t normally get more than a few inches per year. 

Where can I visit Santa in Arkansas?

Did you know that Santa has a North Pole satellite location in Arkansas? It’s found in Jonesboro and is a special place, created with the help of world-renowned animation artist, Lou Nasti. There’s a walk-thru display, a gift shop with a life-sized gingerbread house, an opportunity to visit with Santa and get a photo, and much more.
