The most wonderful time of the year is about to sparkle even brighter as Six Flags Over Texas celebrates 40 years of Holiday in the Park. This is an annual tradition that transforms the park into a twinkling winter wonderland filled with over two million lights, more snow than ever, hundreds of live trees, the first-ever holiday shop, brand-new entertainment and heartwarming holiday cheer for guests of all ages.

From the first snowfall on Merry Main Street to the final twinkle of the park’s towering Christmas tree, guests can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and scents of the season like never before. This year’s celebration shines brighter than ever with festive entertainment, jolly characters, international holiday displays and sweet seasonal treats that celebrate four decades of magic.

“Holiday in the Park continues to be one of our most cherished events,” said Mark Boyer, vice president and park manager for Six Flags Over Texas. “This year we are truly transforming the park with more lights than ever, over the top decorations themed for each area of the park and daily snow along Merry Main Street where guests will also find Santa, Mrs. Claus and our new Christmas store. This year we honor 40 years of holiday joy and tradition with something special for everyone.”
