Celebrate Christmas at SeaWorld ()

Christmas Celebration is included with park admission

We love SeaWorld San Diego any time of year but Christmastime is always special - and it's always a surprise. You never know what the theme or focus will be but you can see the park transform annually into a Christmas Celebration that just keeps getting better. And like a great Christmas present, it keeps giving. In 2023 for instance, the stage shows have taken on a more sophisticated approach, entertaining and appealing to a slightly more mature audience, versus the kid-centric entertainment of years past.  Still, kids will be dazzled by the lights, the lasers, flashy costumes, energetic music and iconic favorites (Santa, Mrs. Claus, reindeer, drinking Coca-Cola or cocoa with colorful sugar sprinkles on top.)

Here's a list of 2023 attractions to experience and put you in a jolly mood!
