Six Flags Over Texas certainly is an exciting theme park, but some Texans might not know about the holiday cheer embraced and spread every year during the Six Flags Holiday in the Park event. During this event, parkgoers can expect to delight in holiday experiences and food in addition to the amazing rides.
Throughout the park, many performers dressed in exquisite holiday costumes can be found, greeting guests and engaging in friendly banter. Six Flags also offers many holiday-themed experiences for guests to enjoy at various times throughout the day. One such event is a performance by the Mistletones, a trio of songstresses who captivate the audience with their retro renditions of classic Christmas songs.
The park is also adorned with many spectacular holiday decorations, such as giant ornaments, candy canes, and of course, lights galore. Even the rides light up at night, with some displaying cute holiday patterns, such as The Riddler’s Revenge boasting red and white stripes like a candy cane.
Parkgoers must be sure not to miss the wonderful holiday food and beverage offerings at the park, either. The Humbug Hot Chocolate is a decadent and rich hot chocolate with white chocolate and peppermint, sure to delight anyone who tries it. Another standout is the BBQ Brisket Baked Potato, which is loaded with tender, flavorful brisket; melty butter, cheddar cheese, barbeque sauce, and sour cream. For dessert, the Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread is a soft, sweet treat that is perfect for sharing.
Six Flags Over Texas’s Holiday in the Park is a spectacular event for anyone seeking an experience full of holiday cheer and wonder. For park hours and schedules, visit the Six Flags website. This fun event runs through December 31, 2025.
