Central Florida may not traditionally look like a winter wonderland, but that’s not stopping the holiday season from hitting the area at full speed this year. You’ll find plenty of seasonal events happening in and around Kissimmee and Celebration.

Tree Lighting Celebration- December 1

The holiday season officially kicks off in Orlando with the city’s annual Tree Lighting Celebration.

Be sure to come back for a synchronized music and light show each evening at the Walt Disney Amphitheater.

Scrooge The Musical- December 1-17

Fun for the entire family, Scrooge The Musical hits the stage at Osceola Arts, also starting December 1st. The holiday favorite will have showings all three weekends, with both evening and matinee performances planned. 

Festival of Lights Parade- December 9 

December 9th is the day on the calendar for the annual Festival of Lights Parade in Downtown Kissimmee. This traditional holiday treat helps usher in the winter season with a parade full of floats, youth groups, plus community and city leaders on hand. 

That same night is a chance to experience The Great Christmas Light Adventure and Jingle Bell Express Train at Green Meadows Petting Farm, also in Kissimmee. Guests are sure to be inspired by the thousands of holiday lights strung throughout the farm. The event includes a ride on the Jingle Bell Express train, crafts with the elves and a photo with Santa Claus.
