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.

[@seungie7459]

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

[@adriangarcia543]

Finally i miss Anna

[@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.

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! 🎄

[@stevesworldofwanders]

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

[@Norweeg]

A+ comment 🤣

[@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.

[@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

[@atypicalmom]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@englishatheart]

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

[@scottthomas6202]

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

[@jmorgan5252]

Anna is so full of joy lol

[@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

[@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

[@chrissyatwell8341]

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

[@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

[@maggieanderson3778]

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

[@Bemfactor98]

This entire place is nightmare fuel...and I love it!

[@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!!

[@ians1mom]

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.

[@57Banjoman]

Anna, thank you for tagging along with your Dad-as a father, I know how fast time goes by, and you two will remember this always!

[@jeremybenton458]

It’s charming hearing you two reflect on your past trip there when she was younger. Her almost throw away comment of “I can’t believe you get paid for this” when you went down the red tube slide was so funny!

[@librarianontheloose]

Anna is the sarcastic teenage commentary we've needed.

[@dustinjacks1187]

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

[@pameladonnelson2093]

I love these old Santa’s Land places. Thank you for showing us this place and your daughter is beautiful

[@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.

[@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.

[@timrouse803]

I LOVE THAT PLACE! Go there at least twice a year!

[@brysonlyons9466]

My grandfather is the founder of this park! So glad to see that people are still going!

[@lisaj8357]

So good to see Anna!

[@luckyotter623]

I really enjoy watching you and your daughter together...you have such a great, fun relationship and it's nice to see.

[@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!❤❤❤👍👍👍⛄⛄⛄

[@happysavage6660]

Thanks for coming back Anna. We missed you, because you grew on us! Honestly lol Glad you had fun there, as it looks like! Lol

[@olgacarreras6595]

So glad to meet your daughter. I'm happy that you had a friend to ride the ferris wheel with.

[@pjdemario1328]

This looks like a fun place! Thanks for showing it to us. 😎

Awesome, how cool! I just watched your last visit to Santa's land yesterday! She's gotten so big and beautiful

[@meggiejane8795]

Good to see Anna! Missed seeing her in your videos!

[@robertrowland5813]

Absolutely!

[@lorih2924]

Happy to see Anna with you. Santa’s Land is great. The reindeer were so cute. Great seeing the other animals there. Special place to go. Love it. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@historylover2432]

glad to know they are still open its been years since ive been there

[@anitahargreaves9526]

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

[@markchoma9822]

A nice pleasant visit to Santa's Land. Nice to see Anna again.

[@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

[@rachelg9873]

In our house it's mandatory to dance during you're intro music. The silliest dance you can manage. Then freeze in place at the end. Lol

[@lesabentley9702]

I love this!! 💟

[@Dr170]

Do you do it for the old videos with the longer intros, as well? Whew, your family ain't gonna need no exercise plan...

[@amazingadventures2092]

Looks like a cool place to visit.

[@adriangarcia543]

[@hookahdave5453]

So good to see you Anna - wishing you the best & miss you in the videos. Peace Love & Light!

[@cynthiaparris7549]

Love Santa Land! We took the kids there in the late 80s early 90s. Now the grandbabies go we love it. I'm old school so I like these little parks. I sure do love the Smoky Mountains. Love the video!!!

[@UnpersonDoublethink]

Oh my goodness, kids grow up so fast. It’s nice to see both of you in a video again. That Farris Wheel looked terrifying btw - love these vintage parks

[@conniecrawford5231]

Ferris wheel, named after George Ferris who designed it in 1893

[@UnpersonDoublethink]

@@conniecrawford5231 oh no I misspelled a word . Good on you for not missing an opportunity to present yourself as superior. Is that your kink? Did you get off real good ? Your welcome😉 theirs another one for ewe .

[@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.

[@jodavidson4767]

Growing up every couple of years we would come here and ghost town went back couple years ago love that place 45 now been there had fun long live santas land

[@debraphillips8399]

This brought back great memories!

[@wmweeza]

Now I want to go and feed the disappointed reindeer!

[@michaelgayandproud6466]

[@brandonoliver4626]

Tweetsie Railroad opened this weekend in a limited capacity. Just wanted you to know.

[@s.pursell8901]

Jacob it was nice to see the father, daughter day. I wish I could get my daughter to spend a whole day with me. Great video.

[@missmable6015]

Love Santa's Land. Cool little place.👍💗

[@Okguy4life]

The carpetbagger rocks!

[@stanleystudios5186]

Fascinating place!

[@adriangarcia543]

Cool

[@hannahstahl1857]

Holiday World is open again here in Indiana. They have virtual lines which makes it easy

[@nickchorman]

Definitely makes my days better watching your videos

[@AllThingzBasketball]

This is the first time i seen your daughter. Hope to see your whole family all together some day.

[@johnkaczinski468]

As the father of 2 daughters, I really enjoy the interaction wit Anna.

[@Mokujo]

Seeing Anna makes me feel way older than any 20-something should. I've basically watched her grow up, I've been subbed since 2015.

[@mlg1783]

That rabbit though, his face. He looks like he farted and got more than he bargained for. Lol!!!

[@Chrisss2112]

michael gibson 😳🤣😂💩

[@SuV33358]

😆

[@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]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hogluvr1]

How neat! Drove past it, out of season. Gotta stop in.

[@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.

[@kncannon]

Thank You, Annabelle! Thank You, Jacob! Super entertaining vlog! I (always) really enjoy yall's Father/Daughter repartee! Bummed out that I could not help fund Anna's fast-food dinner needs! JTK

[@zerxilk8169]

thank you for taking us on your time journey. we enjoyed it very much. We needed that for relaxation. thank you.

[@monicahyland8641]

I brought my kids here when we were on our way home to New York in 2004.. it was great

[@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]

@@DonnaBrooks all of this!

[@jillcox259]

I have a couple of polaroid photos of my sister and me from the 70s at Santa Land. Good times.

[@thevoiceofreason6712]

Thank you brother! We thought about stopping so know I know what to tell my wife about what there is to do!

[@redneckways1933]

Love seeing you guys having fun together.

[@penxor53]

'A park from another time' their old school approach is what enabled them to reopen this year

[@indianakid4050]

Will carpetbagger I love the video took my grandkids down there last year love that place beautiful which was more of them .thanks for sharing

[@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!

[@lauraodle5816]

Really happy to see Anna! It's been a minute. Really enjoyed this!

[@lilgiggler35]

Looks like a neat place to visit. The item in the gift shop is a spoon holder for on top the stove while you are cooking, not an ashtray.

[@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

[@TravelWithTheHs]
