Hersheypark's Holiday Spectacle Lights Up Pennsylvania with Thrills and Festive Cheer
For over four decades, Hersheypark's Christmas Candylane has been a beloved holiday tradition for families across Pennsylvania. This year's event promises to be its most dazzling yet, featuring the park's elaborate light display – touted as one of the most impressive in the state – alongside the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Santa's live reindeer, all nine of them.
Newcomers and old-timers alike will enjoy this year's lineup, which includes the return of a live stage show that last dazzled audiences back in 2019. Meanwhile, thrill-seekers will be treated to the park's tallest ride, Twizzlers Twisted Gravity Screamin' Swing, making it a must-visit for those who dare to venture into the stratosphere.
But what truly sets Hersheypark apart from other holiday events is its unique blend of high-speed thrills and twinkling lights. Weather permitting, several roller coasters operate during Candylane, providing breathtaking views of the illuminated landscape below.
Just a short drive away lies Hershey Sweet Lights, an enchanting drive-through experience showcasing over 500 dazzling displays set across wooded trails and open fields. Visitors can marvel at festive scenes like The 12 Days of Christmas, an Enchanted Forest, and even a Northern Lights-themed area, each one expertly animated to create an immersive holiday spectacle.
While pricing varies between the two attractions, savings are available for those who book online in advance. So pack up your car or bundle together with friends and family – either way, Hersheypark's Christmas Candylane and Sweet Lights promise to deliver a holiday experience that will leave you beaming with joy until January 4th.
