Santa's Land - Cherokee, NC

[@sarahwood8484]

I like when your daughter comes along.

[@captainscentsible1811]

A few years ago she woulda beat her dad to get up candy mountain ( now she's at that age. Go do candy mountain alone dad. Poor jacob.

[@bansheeracing423]

It’s awesome your daughter joins you . I miss seeing you together . You don’t seem so lonely

[@WildHuntRH]

I never could put my finger on it, but yeah, that's the difference. He just seems happier, because of course he would be! That's some solid Dad right there!

[@deniseconaway701]

That bunny looked like something from your nightmares, apart from the scary bunny, this seems really nice place thank you Jacob and Anna x

Positive health to everyone 🙏 From UK and not seen elderly mum since Christmas so appreciate your blogs.

Its so awesome you are still doing what you do man. This planet is getting stranger by the minute, please don't do the same. :)

“I literally can’t believe you get paid to do that” Your daughter really just roasted you 😂😂

If David Hamburger 🍔 created Santa's Helpers, does that make them Hamburger Helpers?

[@brysonlyons9466]

My grandfather built this park, he said yes

[@Dr170]

Like Fredrick Zoller at the Battle of... whatever, you saw your shot and took it. Well played.

[@adriangarcia543]

Finally i miss Anna

[@garyheaton3302]

I saw “Santa” after the park closed when I was a kid. He was filling up his car with gas. I’m still scarred from that.

[@jcg336]

😂

[@Dr170]

Hey, give him a break, converting a car to run on reindeer power is costly, and it voids your warranty as well.

[@Schwob94]

He's not the real one, but he does work for him. Did he give you some tic tacs?

[@DonnaBrooks]

LOL

[@silvertracks8218]

Looks like they fixed it up since your last visit. My wife was just asking me where your daughter has been. Nice to see y’all sharing adventures again. Keep up the good work.

[@robylove9190]

It was great to see Anna in the video! Thanks Jacob!

[@Dr170]

The original Santa's Land video is a stone-cold classic and, truth be told, a bit of a holiday tradition around this household, on par with Ralphie, Kevin, Emmet Otter, and the rest! Awesome to see you both back there 😀

[@lesabentley9702]

Love Santa's Land AND EMMIT OTTER!!!

[@agentadvocate]

It's awesome to hear someone else watches Carpetbagger videos annually! Also love love love Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas! 🎄

[@manchieros]

Pretty sure what you called an ashtray was actually for placing cooking spoons on to keep them off the stove or countertop surface. Lol.

[@ians1mom]

Yes, it’s a spoon rest

[@englishatheart]

Those deer were adorable! Deer have always been one of my favorite animals. Would love the chance to feed some one day.

[@librarianontheloose]

Anna is the sarcastic teenage commentary we've needed.

[@nicochicago2028]

Good morning From Illinois, more Specific, in Chicago. You guys reminded me that I got to search for a new nativity scene. That Elf that was on dispkay of Cutting meat.... I heard it becomes a little alive. So that's why they might had removed it. Good thing you went back to feed the deers. Santa Claus Claus going to give you guys extra presents. Take care all

[@doctorgoodguy1]

Most places: Don't feed the bears! This place: Here's a feeding machine for the bears! Looks like you all had a fun time!!

[@DonnaBrooks]

They say, "Don't feed the bears," for a couple of reasons. One is that people feed animals junk that isn't good for them. Bear chow is part of their regular diet. The second is that, if you are dealing with wild bears, you don't want them to associate humans with food. When animals do that, they end up dead b/c they aren't afraid of hunters or humans wanting to do them harm, and if people do something stupid & get attacked by a wild animal, then the animal is killed for just normal behavior, when it's stupid & abusive humans who are at fault.

[@Charlie-pu9bx]

[@feliciascraftyadventures4734]

I can remember my grandparents taking me and my brother here when we were little and I am in my 40s now.:) The huge plaster rabbit used to scare me.

[@thom8418]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@shanesworkshop922]

I was also afraid and quite possibly traumatized by the giant rabbit as a child. 😂

[@klaytonhaggard4924]

My grandparents used to take me to I’m from ga I’ll be 33 next week

[@sharonhayman8824]

Shane Mattison Heck I’m 64 and just the vid of it traumatized me!

[@abennett6543]

I'm 41 and we used to go every summer when we were little. We'd go to Santa's Land or to Ghost Town in the Sky. Now my 19 year old daughter has been going with my parents since she was a baby. They just left today going up there to stay for a week. I wish I was little again, we always had so much fun!!

[@dagjeeftelingvlogs5002]

go to the efteling in the netherlands you will love it!!!!!!

[@RoadTr]

I passed that place many times, but on the outside it looked dumpy. It looks much better in your video.

[@Idreallyrathernotthanks]

Does it? goodness...lol

[@bookbear619]

I know what the big bunny rabbit is saying. That sneer says "You actually paid good money for this?" But seriously, this is the kind of place I loved going to when I was a little kid, and I'm glad to know there's still one around that hasn't gone to dust.

[@thom8418]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Campbrightmoon]

Last time I was here was around age 9 (26 now) so this is giving me some crazy nostalgia! It's really great to see it's still operating I hope to visit here at least once more in my lifetime

[@dustinbush7639]

I hate seeing the bears like that....they need hundreds of miles, not hundreds of feet

[@manebull6291]

I personally feel sorry for the poor emus haven to be near that train, also carpetbagger was talking about how cute the rain deer sound wait to he hears that horrifying bugle sound they make 🤣.

[@maggieanderson3778]

So glad to see Anna again. It's been awhile. Hi Anna. Love plsces like this, thsnk you TCB1

[@amberdawn2601]

I love that they're still open, but I'm bummed that there's no more creepy black light elves. And that's probably like, less than 10% of the original amount of fish!

[@dustinjacks1187]

Love santas land...been going since 1993..ironically its closed during December. The fall festival is awesome.

[@scottthomas6202]

I remember going there in the early '70s...nice to know it's still around.

[@atypicalmom]

Awww, I'm so glad Anna is there, I've missed her.

[@jmorgan5252]

Anna is so full of joy lol

[@shanesworkshop922]

The whole place looks better/cleaner since your last trip. Last time I was there was as a child probably 40 years ago but definitely looking forward to going back one more time.

[@chrissyatwell8341]

It’s nice to see that they’ve done some much needed maintenance.

[@colleenschwab]

lol Ana is so embarrassed, come on lighten up, you don't know if these kind of places will still be around if you have kids one day, enjoy it while you can!

[@ruthannkizakavich3325]

Hi Jacob & Anna! This video was great! What a great little place! So nostalgic! You have so many cool videos, they are so great to watch! Thank you again, Jacob! Stay safe & stay well!❤❤❤👍👍👍⛄⛄⛄

[@birdmansrt]

I grew up going to Santa’s Land in Cherokee. It holds a special place in my heart! A few years ago I took my kids and they loved it! Can’t wait to come back!

[@truckermatt4603]

I don’t understand why you were wearing masks it doesn’t seem like there is even anyone there and y’all are out doors anddddd you’re family.

[@englishatheart]

Someone needs to point out how it should be "Elves' Workshop." The apostrophe should come after the "s".

[@davervatx8814]

@Steven Hickman I care! Grammer is impotent. Withot gramir, we'd can't spel propirly.

From just Jacob's videos alones, it's been refurbished at least twice, and the "Elve's" spelling has been left intact.

[@andrewcb9255]

It’s kinda sad to see the park in somewhat disrepair like this. You can tell the areas that have some care and maintenance put into them and the areas that don’t. Though I’m very glad to see one of these Santa themed parks still open as they truly are a time capsule.

[@countrygalscoloringplacean8168]

Thanks for the video it's nice seeing santa's land again. Last time I was there was in 1998, I worked there from 95 to 98 wearing elf suit. It was great fun. Now that I think of it where is the game room I didn't see it.

We used to go Santa’s Land every summer when I was little. Late60’s early 70’s. Thank you for the walk down memory lane. I have forgotten so much. I do have a pic of myself in the kangaroo pouch though.

Jacob I was just there Saturday morning. But I didn't see my car in the parking lot. So I missed you.

[@THENAFERATU]

Your daughter has grown up so much, she reminds me of myself at her age - and I can't stop myself from smiling. Me and my dad had an amazing friendship, and he was the one that started my collection, and so-called "Homeseum". He was the one that sparked my interest in History and the Uncanny, I miss him dearly, life has never been the same since 2008.

[@THENAFERATU]

Thank you for being such an amazing dad. The world needs more people like you.

[@michaelgayandproud6466]

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

This has inspired me too take my wife there next weekend

[@JimbosVid]

Nice to see they're actually trying, noticed they've done some improvements here and there since the last video. It still has its roadside charm, though! Love the videos dude! I'm in Philadelphia these days but your NC vids take me back, I was born and raised in WNC. I remember going here as a kid with my grandparents, I doubt much has changed since then.

[@Dr170]

Where else would he hang out? It's not as if there's much to go on in terms of Easter themed parks. He's gotta eat some maggot-infested cabbage every once in a while, but them's the breaks. Granted, at this point, ol' Easty is probably like Santa's college buddy that he let sleep on his couch for a day or two... a day or two that turned into years, that is.
