With Busch Gardens Williamsburg as its backdrop, guests exploring Christmas Town discover breathtaking decor, exclusive entertainment, holiday treats, and rides on favorite attractions. 

New for 2022, Christmas Town introduces a number of experiences for the first time.

A park-wide scavenger hunt celebrates global traditions of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa, with clues to hunt for and a prize for guests who find them all.

Santa’s Fireside Feast offers families a special dining experience in the park’s Killarney area that includes a visit from Santa Claus.

Christmas Town will also host rides on Pantheon, the park’s newest coaster.

Many crowd-favorite productions return, including the rousing “Celtic Fyre: A Christmas Celebration,” the choir-led “Unto Us,” the ice skating show “‘Twas That Night,” the Germany-inspired “Up on the Haustop,” and the Broadway-style musical “Scrooge No More.”

Over 20 rides are operational during Christmas Town, from the swinging thrills of Finnegan’s Flyer to the mystifying drops of Verbolten. The family-friendly Christmas Town Express offers a fun way to see many of the park’s breathtaking lights, all from onboard a real locomotive.
