Movie Park Germany has revealed its expanded lineup for the fourth edition of Movie Park's Hollywood Christmas.
Running from 27 November 2026 through 5 January 2027, the winter event transforms the park into an authentic 'American Christmas' movie set, featuring over a million lights, themed entertainment, and newly added family attractions.
General Manager Thorsten Backhaus highlighted the park's continued investment in winter entertainment, noting that the 2026 event brings fresh cinematic experiences, upgraded light installations, and festive decorations for visitors of all generations.
New Attractions and Upgraded Shows for 2026
This year's event debuts several new entertainment and activity offerings across the park:
- Revamped 'Christmas Tree Celebration': Featuring a brand-new storyline starring elves Holly and Jolly, nutcrackers, Santa Claus, and a new antagonist, the moody film clapperboard S.A.D., who tries to disrupt the tree-lighting ceremony.
- Ice Slide Tubing Experience: Presented in partnership with Ice-World, this new action attraction allows guests to ride snow tubes down an icy slope (available for a small additional fee).
- Parade of Celebration - Winter Edition: The park's 30th anniversary parade receives a festive transformation complete with decorated floats, magical characters, and holiday choreography.
- The Great Christmas Magic Show: Illusions magician Christian Farla returns to Studio 7 with a winter show combining illusions, aerial acrobatics, and dance.
- Night of Wonder & Western Saloon Shows: Van Helsing's Club hosts the live singing and acrobatic show "Night of Wonder," while the Western Saloon presents updated performances of "Meet Santa & Friends" and select dates featuring the Leslie B. Harmonies gospel choir.
Coca-Cola Xmas Truck Tour Stop & Santa Experience
On 29 November 2026, the world-famous Coca-Cola Xmas Truck will make a special guest appearance at the park. Visitors can snap photos on a designated selfie platform with the illuminated Freightliner truck, meet Santa Claus, and spin a digital wheel of fortune for festive merchandise prizes.
Families with young children can also visit the newly relocated Movie Park's Santa Experience - From Hollywood to the North Pole, housed inside the Eventcenter near the park entrance. The interactive experience includes a three-minute ride aboard Santa's Enchanted Express to meet Santa and his elves (requires web shop booking for an extra fee), alongside a Kids Cookie & Christmas Factory, holiday craft activities, and seasonal food offerings.
