The charming Holiday Village will be bustling with boutiques, shops, and rotating food trucks, offering seasonal treats and unique gifts. Little ones will have plenty to enjoy with activities and other fun attractions, such as the Carnival rides and seesaws. And, of course, no holiday celebration would be complete without a visit from Santa, who will be making nightly appearances through December 23rd. NEW THIS YEAR – The festive atmosphere will be enhanced by special performances every night from ballerinas, other entertainers, and Elves (from the North Pole), adding a touch of elegance and wonder to the experience.
