The holidays click into place at Legoland California.

This year's event transforms the park into a winter wonderland, with a new holiday-themed ride, larger-than-life LEGO builds, falling “snow,” twinkling lights, sweet treats and more.

Highlights include the festive new ride, Elf Driving School, lots of jolly holiday Brick Models, LEGO Builds, and experiences like the Elf Hat Scavenger Hunt. Seasonal shows include Santa’s Elf Tree Lighting, Brass Band Holiday Bash, Elf Build Workshop and Once Upon a Brick-Mas.

There are plenty of photo ops for taking holiday pics, including the Lego Christmas tree - standing 3 stories tall and constructed out of more than 360,000 Lego and Duplo bricks, the larger-than-life Lego wreath and the new brick-built Santa and Sleigh.

Favorite holiday Lego characters are available for photos, including Snowman, Nutcracker, Reindeer Girl, Gingerbread Man, and Wizard, as well as the returning Elves, Ivy and Frode. 

Festive food options are on offer, such as: Gingerbread White Chocolate Mocha, Peppermint Bark Frappe, Mocktail Jack Frost, Pumpkin-Tini, and the Yeti’s Ice Cream Overlay.

Fireworks light up the skies on the following dates: December 6, December 13, and December 21 - 30.
