Something about Christmas in Orlando is just magical.

All the things that terrorize Floridians — the intense Summer humidity, the stress-inducing hurricane season — disappear by December. It’s nothing but perfect 80-degree weather and a season of joy ahead.

Orlando, the mecca for vacationing, offers beloved holiday traditions everywhere, from the big theme parks down to the smaller attractions.

Here’s what’s happening this season.

Disney World, the king of theme parks, has sold out all the dates for its special ticketed nighttime Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. If you were lucky enough to snag tickets, you get to see special Disney entertainment not on display during the day at the theme park, including a Christmas parade, an elaborate fireworks show with Cinderella Castle lit up with festive projections, and exclusive meet and greets.

In its second year, Hollywood Studios’ Jollywood Nights is back. Guests can join Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along” or see the Muppets in a holiday show. This special ticketed event includes holiday merchandise, food and opportunities to see characters that aren’t normally roaming the parks. Jollywood runs on select nights through Dec. 22

SeaWorld Orlando’s Sesame Street Land.

SeaWorld Orlando looks beautiful, with millions of Christmas lights glowing. Festival booths are open, serving everything from turkey and stuffing to Coquito. SeaWorld’s Christmas Celebration, which is included in regular theme park admission and held on select days through Jan. 5, also features holiday entertainment, with the grand finale being its fireworks show at park close. 

Meanwhile, Aquatica Orlando launched a new special ticketed nighttime event this year on dry land. The water park is transformed for Illuminate, with lit-up lanterns (some whimsical, like a unicorn) and holiday decorations. The event is especially family-friendly, with children’s activities set up to write a letter to Santa. Upgrades are available to make s’mores around a fire pit or ride a train. Illuminate runs on select nights through Jan. 31.

Universal Orlando also likes to play both naughty and nice for the holiday season. The Grinch makes appearances at Universal Islands of Adventure for “Grinchmas.” At Universal Studios, you can experience the giant balloons and floats from Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s, making you feel like you’re really in the Big Apple. The festivities, with holiday food and merch for sale, are included in regular admission as the event runs daily through Jan. 4.

Looking for something outside the theme parks? Don’t forget that other attractions carry plenty of charm and are also going all in on Christmas.

You can stroll by downtown Orlando’s Lake Eola where, starting Dec. 5, a 64-foot tall Christmas tree puts on a musical show next to Instagram-worthy nutcrackers.

Elsewhere in the city, the Dr. Center Phillips for the Performing Arts is hosting a one-month free festival on its front yard with holiday movies and live performances. The city’s Harry P. Leu Gardens Botanical Gardens is returning the special ticketed Dazzling Nights from Nov. 28 to Jan. 4 on select nights. The 50-acre gardens’ paths and impressive flowers will be lit up by the holiday decorations and lights. 

At Gaylord Palms, catch POMP, SNOW & CIRQUEumstance or ICE! with scenes this year from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

On International Drive, SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium’s Deck the Seas runs through Jan. 4 with holiday decorations. Scuba Santa will be swimming with the sea turtles, sting rays and sharks on select days. “Deck the Seas is a magical way for families to celebrate the season while learning about ocean life,” General Manager Paul Gould said in a statement.

Up for a road trip outside Orlando?

Winter Haven’s Legoland Florida is the only place where you can find a giant Christmas tree completely made out of Legos. Holidays at Legoland, which runs on select days through Dec. 6 to Dec. 31, is part of regular ticket admission and includes holiday entertainment and decorations that cater to families and children. 

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

Even the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex — home of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Saturn V rocket — gets into the Christmas spirit. Holidays in Space features a new drone show from Dec. 21 to Dec. 30. It’s a good time to visit, as the KSC Visitors Complex is debuting the new original live show “Fraggle Rock: A Space-y Adventure” starting Dec. 22.

“We’re honored to partner with The Jim Henson Company, known for its innovation, imagination and storytelling for young audiences and families, to create a show that will inspire dreamers of all ages to look up, explore, and picture their own place among the stars,” said Therrin Protze, the complex’s chief operating officer..
