SeaWorld Christmas Celebration
SeaWorld Orlando’s award-winning Christmas Celebration is returning this year and has an ALL-NEW holiday show, “Mrs. Claus’ Magic Kitchen”, deliciously festive food and beverage offerings, and the introduction of the Christmas Market!
Visitors will see the theme park transformed into a winter wonderland sparkling with more than three million beautiful lights and the addition of NEW holiday experiences sprinkled around the event.
The main feature of the magical festival is the Sea of Trees – a guest favorite. The wintery, watery wonderland is back immersing guests in a sea of twinkling holiday trees that sparkle to music as they light up the water. Dazzling images come to life on more than 100 trees, including a giant glistening centerpiece that towers 70 feet above the water.
Check out SeaWorld Orlando’s Christmas Celebration on select dates from November 10 through January 2 for a fun holiday event!
New Shows and Entertainment
The NEW show, “Mrs. Claus’ Magic Kitchen,” promises to add a dash of laughter and a sprinkle of sweetness to your festive celebrations. Get ready for an entertaining blend of holiday magic and culinary chaos as Mrs. Claus attempts to master the art of social media while whipping up her famous Christmas cookie recipes.
Also new this year is the Christmas Market. Guests will discover a winter wonderland brimming with delectable culinary delights, unique merchandise, and the festive melodies of live music. Guests can stay later to watch “Holiday Reflections, Fireworks Finale” each night. The fireworks show features holiday music and characters from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
For the little ones, the Sesame Street Christmas Parade returns for 2023. For an additional cost, families who come to the park on Saturday mornings can have breakfast with their friends from Sesame Street.
