Fairy Winterland

Children’s Fairyland shines bright during Fairy Winterland, our beloved winter tradition celebrating the season and being “united by light”. Black Santa returns and this time, you can even catch him after Christmas on the final weekend of Fairy Winterland!

Fairy Winterland transforms Children’s Fairyland into a gingerbread-trimmed winter wonderland that celebrates those traditions, from Kwanzaa, Shab-e Yalda, Hanukkah, and Santa Lucia Day to Christmas, Las Posadas, Winter Solstice (Yule), and Diwali. The customs differ across time and place, but they share a common impulse: to gather, create, illuminate, and find joy together.
