SeaWorld Orlando’s Christmas Celebration returns with new Sesame Street parade
SeaWorld Orlando is decking the halls for the return of their Christmas Celebration, running from Nov. 23 – Dec. 31.
For just five weeks, the park will be transformed into a winter wonderland with over 3 million lights. Guests can enjoy award-winning entertainment, including the new Sesame Street Christmas Parade, seasonal shows like “O Wondrous Night”; meet Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, or even head to Wild Arctic and meet Santa Claus himself.
Also new for this year, guests can dine with St. Nicholas over a holiday meal with help from his Kitchen Elves.
Take a look at a full breakdown of this year’s offerings:
