The return of Miracles, a nighttime presentation pairing a holiday soundtrack with orcas, headlines the lineup, with an exclusive presentation time for SeaWorld Annual Pass Members. The park also brings back the Sesame Street Christmas Parade, O Wondrous Night, Winter Wonderland on Ice and Holiday Reflections: Fireworks Finale. Guests can meet Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in Rudolph’s Christmas Town and walk through the Sea of Trees, which features a 70-foot centerpiece.
SeaWorld San Diego’s celebration runs from Nov. 13 through Jan. 3 beneath the 320-foot SkyTower Tree of Lights, with more than one million lights across the park. Four experiences are new this year: Baby Shark’s Christmas Adventure, a reimagined Dolphin Island Christmas featuring the park’s newest dolphin, Solstice, the Rock the Holiday Christmas Parade, and North Pole Storytime. Returning favorites include Clyde & Seamore’s Christmas Special, Toymaker Trouble with Mrs. Claus and the Elves, A Stocking Full of Soul, nightly snowfall, and Donner and Blitzen’s Laser Light Show. Fireworks are planned for Dec. 12 and Dec. 31.
