This year's theme is The Jingle Bell Academy and imagines a playful training ground where children can gear up and train to become Santa’s little helpers.
Young visitors will journey through a series of delightfully decorated Christmas houses, with each stop offering a new piece of elf training – think cookie decorating, sliding down a magical chimney, stealthy present-stacking practice, writing letters to prove their elf-worthiness, and listening to the heartwarming tale of an elf’s first adventure. The experience focuses on play, learning, and discovery – giving children a chance to earn their “Jingle Bell Badge” as they complete each station within the Academy.
Along the way, kids can enjoy festive face painting, toy exploration, a spot of Christmas shopping, and lively activations from Exclusive Books and Oh My Cake. The magical Santa Land experience wraps up with a special photo with Santa to commemorate the occasion.
