People usually associate the holidays with snowy landscapes and crackling fires, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Have you ever considered celebrating the holiday season this year with Shamu and her friends? She has invited Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer and his companions to celebrate the season and soak up the Florida sun before they embark on their yearly adventure around the world.
Getting into The Spirit with Rudolph and His Friends
Shamu Christmas Miracles is a killer (whale) way to celebrate the season. It’s an unforgettable nighttime show featuring spirited music and majestic performances that you’ve got to see to believe. Everyone at SeaWorld will be excited to welcome their friends from the north. The park itself turns into a holiday wonderland festooned with over 3 million twinkling lights. Some other seasonal shows include O Wondrous Night, a show featuring over 30 carols, life-sized puppets, and live animals and Winter Wonderland on Ice, a dazzling and delightful skating extravaganza.
An Exciting Beginning for The New Year
SeaWorld is also a great place to ring in the new year, with Shamu and the gang putting on some incredible adventures. Enjoy the day with the thrilling roller coasters, live performances with your aquatic friends, and finish the day with a colorful display of a spectacular sight and sound performance of fireworks and music.
Sharing Latin Tradition with The Three Kings
SeaWorld continues the holiday season with its celebration of Fiesta De Los Reyes from January 1- 6. Relive the Latin Tradition of El Dia De Reyes by celebrating the arrival of the three wise men Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar. See their story come to life with The Tale of The Three Kings. A storyteller depicts their journey on stage with actors, life-sized puppets, and live animals.
What is a fiesta without food and drink? The park’s chefs prepare traditional cuisines to continue the festivities. Dishes like:
- Papas rellenas (fried stuffed potatoes)
- Empanadas (cheese, chicken, or beef)
- Pinchos (chicken or pork)
- Bacalaitos (codfish fritters)
Adult guests can enjoy libations like frozen margaritas, frozen sangrias, and conquitos. SeaWorld invites everyone to enjoy this cultural event with our “fin-tastic” family and friends.
A Special Holiday Season for Animal Residents
The holidays are known as a season of giving, and this fact hasn’t been lost on SeaWorld. SeaWorld’s Rescue Teams have saved over 35,000 sea creatures. For more than 50 years, SeaWorld has participated in the rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation of sea life. Their efforts have also granted over $17 million in wildlife rescue and protection around the world.
You can experience this up close and personal by visiting many attractions that promote animal conservation. Some of the attractions feature rescued animals, and you can learn about some of their stories.
