This holiday season, celebrate the holidays like never before at sunny Florida's SeaWorld Orlando. Holiday guests can enjoy three all-new shows, plus the return of The Polar Express Experience and more — November 17 through December 31, 2012.

The Polar Express Experience

Holiday guests can take an exciting trip to the North Pole aboard The Polar Express Experience. SeaWorld's Wild Arctic is transformed into the North Pole... and getting there is half the fun! The Polar Express Experience is based on the film from Warner Bros. Pictures and Shangri-La Entertainment, inspired by the beloved children's book by Chris Van Allsburg about a doubting young boy who embarks on a journey of self-discovery during an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole on Christmas Eve.

The Polar Express Experience immerses passengers on a multi-sensory journey of special lighting, scent, sound and motion effects in classic scenes recreated from the movie. Upon arrival at the North Pole, discover a winter wonderland of holiday cheer and amazing animal encounters.

The team of sea lions, Clyde and Seamore, joined by a few mischievous otters and a jolly walrus or two, are as lovable as ever in this all-new Christmas comedy.

A Sesame Street Christmas

In this musical production, the holidays have arrived, but Abby Cadabby doesn't understand what all the fuss is about... she's never heard of Christmas before.
