Dates and Attractions for the Merry Event
The unique celebration runs throughout December and up to January 5th. It features fun, entertainment, food, and festivities. Christmas programming is held only during the holiday season, so it’s not something you’ll see inside the park after January. If you’re going to enjoy the festivities, you’ll need to do it before the second week of the new year.

The full list of attractions includes:

A Christmas Carol/Marley’s Wings
A Peanuts Guide to Christmas
Calico Carolers
Calico Saloon Christmas Show
Christmas Craft Village
Home for the Holidays
Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen
Santa’s Christmas Cabin
Snoopy Ice Show: Merry Christmas, Snoopy!
Snow and Glow Show

Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen is the perfect stop along the way. You and your children can take time to decorate Christmas cookies together. Best of all, you can sample your creations when you take them with you. This attraction charges a nominal fee for the experience of working alongside Mrs. Claus baking.

Santa’s Christmas Cabin offers sweet treats for you and the kids to sink your teeth into. In addition to photo opportunities with Santa, seasonal favorites such as fresh-baked cookies and gourmet hot chocolate with marshmallows are available in the Wilderness Dance Hall. It’s the perfect way to stay on Santa’s ‘Nice List’ by visiting him.
