During New Year’s Eve at SeaWorld Orlando, music joins the nightly Christmas Celebration party as a big part of the festivities. From a DJ spinning Latin-style tunes at The Waterfront to local pop/rock artists DJ Slam and Hip Kitty performing at The Christmas Market, there’s music in the air, among many other elements.


Waves of holiday spirit splash over the park during SeaWorld Orlando’s Christmas Celebration. This nightly event includes the phenomenal holiday-themed shows, such as the all-new “O Wondrous Night – The Greatest Story Never Told”, and returning holiday favorites like Winter Wonderland on Ice, Shamu Christmas - Miracles, Clyde and Seamore’s Countdown to Christmas, A Sesame Street and Holiday Reflections: Fireworks and Fountains Finale. THE POLAR EXPRESS Experience and the Sea of Trees are also part of SeaWorld’s Christmas Celebration experience.
