The title is well-deserved considering the theme park's An Old Time Christmas event, where every nook and cranny is illuminated with over 6.5 million lights. For a real treat, don't miss Rudolph's Holly Jolly Christmas Light Parade, during which the red-nosed reindeer and his friends, including Bumble (the formerly abominable snow monster), make an appearance.
