If autumn and winter in the UK can feel a little too dark and a little too cold, heading to the sunnier climes of Florida can be one way of experiencing one of your favourite festivals in a unique and exciting setting.
Christmas
When the idea of another Christmas in the UK feels a little too humdrum, there is nowhere quite like Florida's SeaWorld to experience a once-in-a-lifetime winter holiday. Fill up on Christmas spirit as carols fill the air, while a sparkling sea of trees light up the water and professional skaters as they create a Winter Wonderland on Ice to a backdrop of fireworks.
Guests can also journey to the North Pole on The Polar Express Experience. Inspired by the Christmas animated classic The Polar Express, as soon as you and your family step on the ride you will be immersed in the heart-warming story of a young boy's adventure into an enchanted world, and you may even get to meet Father Christmas himself when the train arrives at the North Pole.

Christmas at SeaWorld
Even the animals at SeaWorld can't help but be touched by the Christmas spirit. Shamu - SeaWorld's famous killer whale show - gets its own festive twist as holiday music accompanies these stunning creatures as they soar through the air in Shamu Christmas - Miracles. Cheeky sea lions Clyde and Seamore are joined by otters and walruses too in their very own 'countdown to Christmas show'. And while not strictly animals, the cast of Sesame Street ensure even the youngest elves are left with that warm, fuzzy, Christmas feeling.
