If you’re a Houstonian itching for a holiday getaway but dreading the TSA lines and airport chaos, here’s your perfect road trip destination: Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, where the holidays shine brighter than ever before.

From November 22 through December 23, the park will transform into a winter wonderland with 2.5 million lights, 75,000 sparkling decorations, and hundreds of Christmas trees — including a brand-new 70-foot fir tree, the tallest traditional-style holiday tree in San Antonio.

And that’s just the beginning.

Holiday Shows and Entertainment

From dazzling stage productions to sing-along carolers, Holiday in the Park delivers nonstop entertainment for all ages. The Majesty of Christmas at Zaragoza Theater tells the Nativity story with live animals, while A Christmas Carol offers a lively musical spin on the Dickens classic.

Other highlights include Feliz Navidad with Mariachi Los Soberanos, Tinker Belles & March of the Toy Soldiers, and Have Yourself a Looney Tunes Christmas. Each night concludes with the 70-foot Tree Lighting Ceremony at Rockville Plaza, followed by a synchronized light show set to classic and contemporary holiday music.

Family-Friendly Fun

Families can visit Santa’s Cottage for photos and wish lists, meet Looney Tunes and DC Super Heroes in festive attire, and enjoy seasonal attractions such as roasting s’mores by an open fire. The H2Ho Ho Ho Fountain Show in Crackaxle Canyon Screampunk District adds a magical touch with water and light choreographed to holiday tunes.

Festive Food and Drinks

No holiday celebration is complete without great food, and Fiesta Texas has an impressive lineup. Savory options include the stuffed turkey leg, Rudolf brisket bites, Texas-style chili bread bowl, and honey-glazed pork loin.

For those with a sweet tooth, try the Fresas con crema funnel cake, Abuelita’s chocolate churro, or Very Merry mangonada. Seasonal beverages include candy cane cold brew, peppermint foam lattes, and hot chocolate in collectible mugs.

A Brighter, Greener Holiday

This year’s event is not only brighter but also greener. Fiesta Texas uses energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the park, helping reduce energy use and environmental impact while maintaining the festive glow.

Celebrate the Season and Ring in the New Year

The celebration doesn’t stop in December. From December 26 through January 4, the park continues the festivities with Rockin’ New Year’s, culminating in the New Year’s 360 Fireworks Celebration on December 31 — a high-energy spectacle of lights and music. .

Plan Your Trip and Save

The best deal of the season is the 2026 Silver Pass, available now during the Cyber Sale for just $55. The pass includes unlimited visits in 2025, free parking, and access through Labor Day 2026. The offer runs November 14 through December 1.
