- Candyland with a tunnel of lights + sweet decorations.
- The Classic Christmas scene is home to the 30-foot tree.
Nearby you’ll see the lights of a carousel — of course, you can actually ride it.
However, no holiday festival would be complete without rockin’ music and a visit from Santa himself. Also, be aware — if you’ve been naughty you may also see The Grinch.
