Move over, Santa, there's another adorable animal we all need to take pictures with at Summerfield Zoo's Christmas Town in Belvidere, Illinois.

Must-Do Holiday Outing for Families in Illinois

Have you ever visited Christmas Town at Summerfield Zoo in Belvidere? My family did several years ago. My daughters still talk about going there every holiday season, even though both of them are nearing their tween years now.

If preserving the magic and joy of Christmas for your kids is something that is important to you, Christmas Town at Summerfield Zoo needs to be your new holiday tradition.

This unique and charming event is all about highlighting Santa's magical reindeer, and as you can see from the picture above, you get to meet and take pictures with a few of them too!

• Visits and photos with Santa
• A gift shop
• Mrs. Claus' Kitchen
• Mini train rides
• AND...pictures with a new mini Christmas cow!

 Daisy the Christmas Cow

Here's another truth about me, I am low-key obsessed with mini Highland Cows. I think they are beyond adorable, and the last time my family visited Christmas Town, Daisy wasn't there yet. Just look how precious Daisy the Christmas Cow is!

Guys, I can't handle the cuteness and need to meet Daisy in person ASAP!
