What to see & do at Movie World Christmas 2023
There is so much to see as you walk through the transformed theme park. The main street of Movie World will be lit up with one million Christmas lights.
There will also be street performers and carollers to put everyone in the Christmas spirit.
The highlight of the White Christmas at Movie World is the Christmas Float Parade. Your family will be dazzled by Christmas floats, singers, and dancers. Of course, no Christmas parade would be complete without Santa himself! There are five precincts for your family to explore:
Main Street
Gaze in awe as you wander down Main Street, the home of Christmas cheer. Feel the magic of glittering fairy lights as they illuminate Main Street and enjoy entertainment, excitement, food, Christmas characters, music and so much more. Enchanting, soft snowflake bubbles also create the illusion of a beautiful winter’s evening as you stroll through Main Street with delicate snow falling to create a true ‘White Christmas’ experience.
Celebrate the wonder and excitement of the most enchanting Christmas parade nightly from 8pm featuring a spectacular extravaganza of magical lights, Christmas characters, magnificent floats and embrace the delightful spirit of Christmas.
