SeaWorld Orlando’s Christmas Celebration returns Nov. 6 to Jan. 4

SeaWorld Orlando’s Christmas Celebration is returning this year on select dates from November 6 through January 4, WKMG News 6 ClickOrlando reported. The event transforms the park into a holiday wonderland featuring millions of lights, a 70-foot centerpiece tree, and snow flurries along the Waterfront.

A highlight this season is the return of Miracles, an orca nighttime show that has not been performed since 2019. The presentation features themes of peace and friendship set to a seasonal soundtrack and stars SeaWorld’s orcas.

Guests can also enjoy family-friendly entertainment including the Sesame Street Christmas Parade, O Wondrous Night with live animals and carols, Elmo’s Christmas Wish Show, Winter Wonderland on Ice, and Clyde & Seamore’s Countdown to Christmas. Each evening concludes with Holiday Reflections: Fireworks Finale, a fireworks show set to holiday music.

New this year, visitors can gather around fire pits to toast marshmallows and make s’mores, adding a Florida twist to the holiday tradition. The celebration also honors Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year’s Eve, and the Three Kings Celebration with nightly cultural performances and festive cuisine.

The event is included with park admission, and Annual Pass Members receive an exclusive first look at the festivities.
