Christmas Town™ at Busch Gardens Williamsburg is one of my family's favorite holiday traditions. The twinkling eight million lights, signature hot chocolate, amazing shows, fun rides and more make for a magical family evening.  Plus, visitors can stop by the North Pole to see Santa and chill with the penguins at the ice palace.  Be sure to take a journey on the sky ride and ride the train around the park to fully view all the breathtaking decorations.  (I am pretty scared of heights but I always make an exception for the Christmas Town sky ride.  The majestic feeling is completely worth it!) 

As a self-proclaimed Christmas Town "veteran," I have two pieces of advice.  The first piece of advice is "go early." Christmas Town opens at 2 PM, and as the evening goes on, the crowds tend to grow.   The second piece of advice is take advantage of the many savings opportunities online, coupons, or my new favorite savings offer below:

Starting on November 12-18, Busch Gardens is offering a 12 Days of Christmas special offer. This $12 single-day Christmas Town ticket represents a $20 savings off the regular $32 one-day ticket price.  The limited-time, online-only sale starts Nov. 12 and runs through Nov. 18.  The Christmas Town $12 single-day ticket is redeemable on any one of the following dates: Nov. 21, 22, 23, 30, Dec. 7, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22 or 30. 

     “The $12 Christmas Town ticket is the best deal of the Christmas Town season,” said Marketing Vice President Dan Dipiazzo. “Pick one of the 12 days to visit and discover why Christmas Town is the place where Christmas shines brightest.”
