VALDOSTA, Ga. – Wild Adventures Theme Park announced its annual holiday event, Wild
Adventures Christmas Wild & Bright, is set to return with new attractions. The region’s largest
Christmas celebration will run on select days starting on November 21 through New Year’s Eve.
“The Christmas spirit is brighter and wilder than ever,” said Asher Raymond, public relations
specialist. “Guests can experience fantastic displays glowing with over two million lights, like
Twinkling Timbers and Woodland Outpost, try some Christmas tasty treats, meet their favorite
Christmas characters and see outstanding festive entertainment.”
Guests will become immersed in the holiday lights once the sun goes down. The Tree Lighting
Ceremony features South Georgia’s largest Christmas tree, and each evening a lucky child will
get the chance to flip the switch to light up the winter night sky. The Wonder Walk transforms
the Alapaha Trail into a captivating realm of twinkling magic, while the Woodland Outpost
creates a bright and festive area with displays featuring towering reindeer with glowing flowing
horns. Guests can stroll through the hanging lights stretched across the canopy of the Twinkling
Timbers. The Safari Train will get a sweet overlay, as the Candy Cane Express takes guests on a
sugar-fueled adventure through all things red and white to head to Candy Cane Town.
Along with magnificent lights, a lineup of holiday entertainment will be found across the park.
The Carol of the Animals Lake Show is the event’s largest attraction, featuring an animated
musical light show on seven towering Christmas trees floating in the center of the lake. The
Miracle of Christmas – A Living Nativity is a show that will move guests telling the story of
Christ’s birth. The Spirit of Christmas is a show for all ages that is equal parts holly and jolly, as
Santa’s Elves put the finishing touches on Christmas. The Holiday Horizon Drone Show will
create a glimmering holiday spectacle for all to see on December 20.
Guests can meet Santa Claus at Santa’s Outpost, where kids can experience Santa’s Snow Storm
Party, hear stories and decorate cookies with Mrs. Claus, and write a letter to Santa before a
holiday photo. Guests can also experience Holly Jolly Junction, where Rudolph the Red Nose
Reindeer and his companions come alive. Guests can immerse themselves in a unique character
experience as Rudolph, Clarice, and Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster make their festive
appearance, offering an exclusive holiday experience.
Christmas Wild & Bright also introduces a new special menu of festive treats for guests to try.
Tasty treats can be found across the park, from Hot Chocolate Fried Oreos, Stuffing Stackers, to
Eggnog Milkshakes. Guests can purchase these items al a carte or purchase the Christmas
Dining Pass for $30, which includes one meal, two snacks and unlimited soda refills.
“There is holiday fun to be had for all at Wild Adventures Christmas Wild & Bright,” Raymond
said. “Everyone in the family can create unforgettable memories while they’re riding their
favorite rides, making s’mores around the fire or taking group photos with the dazzling
Christmas lights. This event creates holiday traditions that are worth repeating.”
Wild Adventures Christmas Wild & Bright is included with park admission or a Season Pass.
2026 Season Passes are on sale for as low as $89.99, which has been extended through
