Christmas Town Returns to Busch Gardens Williamsburg: A Holiday Tradition That Never Gets Old
October 30, 2025 – Williamsburg, VA
One of America’s most beloved holiday traditions is back — and it’s right here in our backyard. Busch Gardens Christmas Town returns November 14, transforming the park into a dazzling winter wonderland filled with millions of twinkling lights, festive shows, holiday treats, and memories that last a lifetime — all included with park admission.
As a longtime Williamsburg resident and season pass holder for many years, I can say firsthand that there’s nothing quite like seeing Busch Gardens at Christmastime. When my kids were growing up here, it became one of our most cherished family traditions — riding the train through the lights, sipping hot cocoa, and taking in the magic that only Busch Gardens can deliver.
✨ A Season to Shine
From the park’s European-inspired villages, each beautifully decked out for the holidays, to the smell of roasted chestnuts and cinnamon sugar in the air, Christmas Town captures the spirit of the season like nowhere else. With one of the largest holiday light displays in North America, every corner glows with warmth and nostalgia.
Guests can enjoy festive dining, holiday shopping, and themed drinks while strolling beneath the lights — or catch one of the park’s signature shows that bring timeless stories to life.
