Our all-new Busch Gardens Christmas Celebration limited-capacity special event is already brimming with festive fun to bring the holidays to life. We’ve kicked off the season here at Busch Gardens Williamsburg with thrills by day and lights by night, and we’ve loved seeing our guests make the most of it all with friends and family.

Kids and grown-ups alike are having a blast on 15 different coasters and rides, including our scenic Busch Gardens Railway. The songs of carolers and other live holiday entertainers fill the air. From Santa encounters to gingerbread scavenger hunts to holiday shopping and dining, there’s something for everyone to celebrate.

But you knew we wouldn’t stop there, didn’t you?

All-New Daytime Surprises

In the spirit of giving this time of year, we’re adding even more holiday experiences and thrilling fun for everyone to enjoy. These brand-new offerings are only available during our 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. sessions from Nov. 21–29, so find your new favorite reason to visit below and reserve your day before they’re all gone!

Drop in on Griffon

How does soaring through the crisp winter air before dropping 205 feet on the ultimate floorless dive coaster sound? This exhilarating ride has always been a favorite with our coaster fans, and it’s just been added for these select daytime sessions!

NEW: Holiday Treat Trail

Why should Halloween be the only holiday with a trek for treats? Little ones can go for a stroll and get their mittens on some sweet Christmas goodies. It’s sure to put visions of sugarplums in their head (along with gumdrops, candy canes, and more!).

NEW: Gingerbread Meet & Greet

This is one all-new experience that’s fresh out of the oven! Take a trip to France and say “bonjour” to your favorite holiday cookie, who’s ready to bring sugary smiles to everyone with these special limited-time appearances.

NEW: Jingle, the Surprise Elf

You may be in for a little holiday magic when you least expect it! If you spot Jingle making a surprise appearance, be sure to snap an “elfie selfie” and post it with #ShareMyBGWStory for a chance to be featured on our social channels this holiday season.

Don't Wait to Celebrate

The holiday season will be over you know it, and these all-new experiences will be gone even sooner. That’s all the more reason to take advantage of this limited-time, limited-capacity opportunity today.

Reserve your daytime visit now, and soon you’ll be enjoying sunny, festive moments together in our spacious outdoor park. That’s definitely something to celebrate.
