Christmas in San Diego sparkles extra bright as the annual SeaWorld San Diego Christmas Celebration is turning the park into a sparkling winter paradise where holiday dreams come true and even snow falls in our sunny city.

Seaword San Diego  Christmas Celebration

All-New Holiday Splendor

Hold onto your Santa hats because Winston the Walrus is stealing the show at the brand-new Happy Harbor Holiday! And just when you think it couldn’t get more magical, Mrs. Claus and her crew of mischievous elves pop up with a festive parade.

Winter Wonderland by the Bay

Snow in San Diego? You better believe it! Our beloved 320-foot SkyTower has transformed into the city’s most spectacular Christmas tree, while a tunnel of lights puts on a dazzling dance show to your favorite holiday tunes.

Bump noses with Rudolph in his very own Christmastown, share your holiday wishes with Santa, and say hello to real live reindeer fresh from their North Pole vacation!

Festive Flavors and Merry Moments

Time to satisfy those holiday cravings! Cozy up with SeaWorld’s famous hot chocolate (piled high with candy toppings!), or toast to the season with festive cocktails.

Feeling extra jolly? Snag a Festive Food & Seasonal Sips lanyard and taste your way through 10 incredible holiday treats. Psst…Annual Pass Members get two extra samples!

Holiday Magic Under the Stars

The sky comes alive with the Christmas Wish Fireworks on December 14 and New Year’s Eve, while enchanting snowfall sprinkles magic over SkyTower Lawn and Wild Arctic every night.

Dance under the dazzling Donner and Blitzen’s Lazer Light Show, and starting December 1, join in the joy of Hanukkah with beautiful menorah lighting ceremonies.
