That’s right! You don’t have to travel far to experience the magic and wonder of a snowy holiday season. Every night from Dec. 1 to Dec. 31 snow machines will create flurries to dazzle guests and cover The Lawn and other areas around ICON Park from 7 to 8 p.m.

The Charles Dickens Carolers will also spread holiday cheer with performances every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in December from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., plus appearances on Dec. 23, 24 and 25.

Deck the Seas at SEA LIFE Orlando

This holiday season, SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium invites guests to explore a wintery underwater wonderland brimming with seasonal magic and festive fun!

On select days, Scuba Claus will dive into the Atlantic Ocean habitat to check if the sea animals have been naughty or nice, and Santa Sharky will make appearances throughout the attraction. Visitors can hear the tale of “‘Twas the Night Before Fishmas,” write holiday cards for their favorite aquatic animals, and soak in the sparkling holiday decorations.
