Rebecca Parkinson, who works at the family business and is pictured with her baby son George on the photo with Santa, said: "It’s unique with it being on the tractor on the farm and Santa knows everything about everyone who comes to visit him which is a really nice personal touch.
"They get an ice cream and there’s also goody bags included too which contain a Milk Maids tree decoration, cookies, an instant pic with Santa, and a glass milk bottle which people can bring back to us on Christmas Eve and we refill so that they can leave out for Santa.
"Overall it's a really great experience and we've already sold half of the tickets."
