SeaWorld Christmas Celebration Sneak Peak
As always the best theme park to visit in Central Florida is SeaWorld Orlando. All our staff at Florida Leisure love Christmas as SeaWorld is the one park that does actually keep the “Christ” in Christmas. It is refreshing that someone is prepared to stick to good old solid Christian principles instead of following the politically correct crowd and call the Christmas period “Happy Holidays” instead.
We hope that SeaWorld will continue to do what it does and never succumb to those who want to devalue the reason for the season.
Anyway, off my soapbox now and this evening I took a quick trip to SeaWorld to get a sneak peak of SeaWorld’s 2012 Christmas Celebration and the lighting up ceremony for the Sea of Trees. The Sea of Trees includes 100 massive trees, each sparkling, lighted and choreographed to classic holiday tunes, making a dramatic display around SeaWorld’s center lake.It’s a wonderful sight to see.
Also, SeaWorld has one of the best shows you’ll ever see at a theme park with its superb “O Wondrous Night” stage production. “O Wondrous Night” tells the greatest story never told, with more than 30 carols, based upon the Christmas Story and told through the eyes of a variety of live animals. The show is simply fantastic and everyone will be thoroughly entertained by this touching, light hearted and glorious celebration featuring a host of angels, animals and the true glory of Christmas.
Among the returning holiday favorites that families and friends can enjoy once again are:
- Winter Wonderland on Ice – the ice skating extravaganza where Christmas comes to life through towering water fountains, magnificent fireworks and some of the most talented ice skaters in the world. This is a don’t-miss, holiday sensation.
- The night-time show, Shamu Christmas … Miracles. Thrilling seasonal music rings out as killer whales soar through the air in a performance that will take the audience on a stirring voyage into the heart of the holidays.
- Clyde and Seamore’s Countdown to Christmas features Santa’s helpers, Clyde and Seamore, who are bringing their own brand of comedy to Christmas this year. Our loveable sea lions, along with a few mischievous otters, a comical elf, and a wintery walrus or two, search for Santa.
- A Sesame Street Christmas is a festive and fun musical celebration that will have the little ones smiling all the way home. Through dance, laughter, and interactive sing-a-longs, Elmo, Telly Monster and the rest of her Sesame Street friends teach Abby Cadabby what Christmas means to them.
- SeaWorld celebrates the season during Holiday Reflections: Fireworks and Fountains Finale, with soaring fountains, dazzling lights, and festive fireworks, choreographed to joyous holiday musical favorites. Experience a wondrous SeaWorld Christmas connection that lights the night.
