Opens Nov. 7, 2026
Immerse yourself in holiday traditions from around the globe!
Experience seasonal cheer
Opening day: Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026
The annual Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light features more than 50 trees and displays, each lovingly decorated by community volunteers who share family and cultural traditions drawing on their global heritage. Placed throughout the trees are displays representing international seasonal celebrations of light, like Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali and more. Stroll through our indoor forest and light displays, take a family photo in front of the four-story Grand Tree, enjoy specialty holiday treats at seasonal pop-ups, and more. This beloved annual exhibit started in 1942 as one tree to represent unity during World War II and has since turned into an engaging winter wonderland. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that brings a whole world of holiday joy under one roof.
Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light opens Nov. 7, 2026 and is included in General Admission.
