You all know how much we love
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. We even had
an engagement session done there during Halloween. In 2012, Busch Gardens incorporated their first ever
Christmas Town, a celebration of the holiday season at their park. It was a huge success. So successful that they brought it back for 2013 and it is bigger than ever. More lights (over a million!), special Christmas entertainment, live music, festive treats, holiday shopping and more.
I am very excited to start off my 12 Days of Christmas giveaway with a four pack of tickets to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Christmas Town!
We went to Christmas Town last year and had an amazing time. The most popular part of the event was SnowWorld® presented by Coca-Cola, which is returning this year with more snow! Busch Gardens Tampa created amazing attractions to help your family craft unforgettable Christmas traditions. This year’s event will feature a delicious holiday buffet with Mrs. Claus, incredible shopping, a flock of silly and fun penguins and more snow than last year!
The Christmas Town Village is Gabe's favorite part of the event. Stroll through the Cabins and enjoy sweet and savory snacks. From freshly-made waffles with your choice of toppings, baked cookies, creamy hot chocolate, eggnog, turkey legs with a cranberry orange glaze, warm ham served on pretzel bread, mini holiday pies, caramel apples, Christmas Town’s signature Elf Munch, roasted nuts and more!
Nothing puts me in the holiday spirit like holiday cocktails and Christmas town has it! Sip on Eggnog, pumpkin coffee, Ghirardelli hot chocolate, Holiday brews and other adult beverages will be available.
Christmas Town transforms Busch Gardens Tampa into a holiday wonderland
filled with all things Christmas for 18 select nights, Nov. 29 through Dec. 23.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas tradition is to watch "A Christmas Story" while putting up the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Almost everyone I tell this to simply laughs and questions why I would wait so long to put up my tree. Well, I started putting up my tree so late because back in 2005 my father and I were having a hard time getting in the spirit of things since my step-mother died the Monday before Thanksgiving that year and it took us a week to realize she would still want us to put up the tree and celebrate.
