The holidays just got a whole lot more fins, fireworks, and festive fun.
SeaWorld Orlando’s Christmas Celebration is back, running on select dates from Nov. 6 through Jan. 4, and it’s all included with park admission.
Recognized by USA Today’s 10Best as one of the top holiday theme park events in the nation, the park will transform into a dazzling winter wonderland — complete with a towering 70-foot centerpiece tree, snow flurries along the Waterfront and millions of sparkling lights as far as the eye can see.
Miracles returns
The headlining moment this season is the return of Miracles, the beloved orca nighttime presentation that’s back for the first time since 2019. Set to a moving seasonal soundtrack, the experience weaves together themes of peace, friendship and reflection — all starring SeaWorld’s magnificent orcas. Annual Pass Members get an exclusive first look.
Shows, parades, fireworks
The entertainment lineup is stacked.
Guests can catch the Sesame Street Christmas Parade, the heartwarming O Wondrous Night featuring more than 30 Christmas carols and live animals, Elmo’s Christmas Wish Show, Winter Wonderland on Ice and Clyde & Seamore’s Countdown to Christmas. Each night wraps up with Holiday Reflections: Fireworks Finale, a pyrotechnics spectacular set to holiday music.
Food, drinks, fire pits
New this year, guests can gather around glowing fire pits to toast marshmallows and build their own s’mores — a cozy Florida twist on a classic holiday tradition.
New menu items include Three Cheese Ravioli in Chardonnay cream with prosciutto, Ropa Vieja Festiva with tostones, and Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter Beignets. New cocktails like the Snow Globe Spritz and Fireside S’mores Punch join returning favorites like the Gingerbread Martini and Rosemary Garlic Lamb Chops. Food and beverages are available for an additional purchase.
Something for everyone
The celebration goes beyond Christmas. SeaWorld honors Hanukkah (Dec. 4–12), Kwanzaa (Dec. 26–Jan. 1), New Year’s Eve and the Three Kings Celebration (Jan. 3–6) with nightly cultural traditions, performances and festive cuisine.
