Christmas at Hersheypark

It really becomes the most wonderful time of the year at Hersheypark starting in late November. Hersheypark becomes the Hersheypark Christmas Candylane. Not all of the rides are open, but there are tons of other things for visitors to do. The whole park is lit up with vibrant Christmas lights as festive music plays. Santa Claus is available for photos, and you can even see his reindeer! There is an ice skating rink, and afterwards you can purchase delicious hot chocolate to warm up. Across the street from the park there are the Hershey Sweet Lights, a 2-mile drive-through light display. People of all ages can find something to enjoy, and even if it’s cold outside, the sweetness of Hershey will be sure to make you feel warm during the Christmas season.
