When is LEGOLAND Christmas Bricktacular 2026?

LEGOLAND Christmas Bricktacular takes place on select dates from November 21, 2026 through January 3, 2027.

2026 LEGOLAND Christmas Bricktacular dates

Because the event runs across several weekends and the holiday period, families can choose a date that fits around their Christmas vacation, school break or Central Florida getaway.

Christmas Bricktacular is included with general Theme Park admission, so there is no separate Christmas event ticket required.

What is new at LEGOLAND Christmas Bricktacular in 2026?

The 2026 celebration introduces several new experiences, giving returning families even more reasons to make LEGOLAND Florida part of their holiday plans.

The new experiences complement the classic holiday atmosphere throughout the Theme Park, creating a Christmas celebration that combines entertainment, LEGO creativity and family time.

See LEGO Santa take to the sky

One of the biggest additions for 2026 is the all new Christmas Drone Show featuring LEGO Santa.

As night falls, families can watch LEGO Santa take to the sky as part of a festive aerial celebration. The experience adds a spectacular nighttime moment to a day filled with rides, shows, character experiences and LEGO building.

For families planning a visit around the Christmas Drone Show, consider making an evening of it. Arrive early enough to enjoy the Theme Park, take time for holiday photos and building activities, enjoy dinner or a seasonal treat, then find a comfortable viewing spot before the nighttime entertainment begins.

Event entertainment, schedules and showtimes can vary, so check the latest information before your visit.

Explore the gigantic LEGO Christmas Tree

A holiday visit to LEGOLAND Florida would not be complete without seeing the 30 foot tall LEGO Christmas Tree.

The gigantic LEGO Christmas Tree is one of the standout holiday displays at the Resort and makes a great backdrop for family photos. Along with the tree, the Theme Park is decorated with festive LEGO models, seasonal displays and holiday details throughout different areas.

For families with younger children, these displays also provide plenty of opportunities to slow down between rides and attractions. Let kids look closely at the LEGO creations, take pictures together and discover the holiday details around the Park.

Follow the interactive festive light trail

Another new experience for 2026 is the interactive festive light trail.

Instead of simply walking through holiday lights, families can take part in LEGO building along the way. It is a natural fit for LEGOLAND Florida because the holiday experience encourages families to do what LEGO fans already love to do: build, create and play together.

This is also a great option for families who want to add a quieter activity to a busy Theme Park day.

Build holiday memories together

LEGO building is at the heart of Christmas Bricktacular.

Families can take part in festive LEGO brick building activities while exploring holiday decorations and seasonal entertainment throughout the Theme Park. These hands on experiences make the event especially appealing for families with children who enjoy creating things themselves.

The combination of rides, shows and building activities also means a Christmas visit does not have to follow the same pace all day. Families can mix active attractions with creative play, holiday treats and character experiences.

Meet LEGO Santa and festive characters

Christmas Bricktacular is also a chance to meet LEGO Santa and other festive LEGO characters.

Character experiences can be a highlight for younger children, especially when combined with holiday photos. Families visiting during a Christmas vacation may want to make character meet and greets part of their plan rather than leaving them until the end of the day.

Check the latest Theme Park information for current character locations and schedules, as entertainment offerings and times are subject to change.

Enjoy holiday food and festive treats

Holiday activities are even better with a seasonal snack.

During Christmas Bricktacular, LEGOLAND Florida offers limited time festive food and drinks, including treats inspired by the holiday season and the colorful world of LEGO.

For families visiting with children, holiday treats can also be an easy way to add a little excitement between attractions. Consider building in time for a snack break rather than trying to fit every activity into one continuous stretch.

What should families do at LEGOLAND Florida during Christmas?

Christmas Bricktacular is part of the larger LEGOLAND Florida experience, so families can enjoy the Theme Park's regular rides, attractions and entertainment alongside the seasonal activities.

A holiday visit could include:

The exact schedule will depend on the day's operating hours, entertainment schedule and your family's priorities.

Is LEGOLAND Christmas Bricktacular included with admission?

Yes. LEGOLAND Christmas Bricktacular is included with general Theme Park admission on event dates.

Eligible Annual Passholders can also enjoy the event, although some Annual Pass types may have blockout dates. Families should check the current Annual Pass calendar before planning a visit around a specific date.

This makes Christmas Bricktacular an easy addition to a LEGOLAND Florida vacation because families do not need to purchase a separate Christmas event ticket.

Is LEGOLAND Florida a good Christmas activity in Orlando?

Absolutely. While LEGOLAND Florida is located in Winter Haven, it is approximately 45 minutes from Orlando and Tampa, making it a convenient option for families planning a Central Florida holiday vacation.

For families searching for Christmas events in Orlando, Christmas activities near Orlando or family things to do in Central Florida during the holidays, LEGOLAND Florida offers something a little different from a traditional holiday festival.

The experience combines a full day of LEGO themed rides and attractions with seasonal entertainment, holiday displays and interactive activities.

That makes it especially appealing for families traveling with children who want a Christmas activity that keeps kids involved rather than simply watching a holiday show.

A Christmas day trip from Orlando or Tampa

LEGOLAND Florida can work well as a day trip during a Central Florida vacation.

Families staying in Orlando can make the drive to Winter Haven for a full day at the Resort, while families visiting Tampa can make LEGOLAND Florida part of a wider Central Florida itinerary.

Visitors traveling from other parts of Florida, including Miami and Jacksonville, may also consider building LEGOLAND Florida into a longer holiday road trip.

Central Florida holiday trip ideas

Travel times can vary based on traffic and seasonal conditions, so allow extra time during busy holiday travel periods.

Make it a LEGO holiday getaway

Families who want more than a day trip can stay overnight at one of the Resort's LEGO themed hotels.

The LEGOLAND Hotel, LEGOLAND Pirate Island Hotel and LEGOLAND Beach Retreat provide different ways to extend the holiday experience.

Staying onsite can be particularly helpful for families with younger children. Being close to the Theme Park makes it easier to take a break, return to the room, change clothes or simply slow down during a multi day vacation.

Holiday hotel experiences can also include seasonal activities and entertainment, giving families another opportunity to keep the LEGO fun going after leaving the Theme Park.

For families planning a holiday trip through October 31, 2026, current LEGOLAND Florida offers include kids' tickets from $39 per day with a hotel stay, subject to applicable terms and availability.

Tips for planning your LEGOLAND Christmas Bricktacular visit

A little planning can make a holiday visit easier, particularly when traveling with young children.

Choose your date early. Christmas Bricktacular takes place on select dates, so check the event calendar before booking your trip.

Check the entertainment schedule. The Christmas Drone Show and other seasonal entertainment are key parts of the experience. Check the latest schedule before arriving.

Arrive with enough time to explore. Christmas Bricktacular is part of a full Theme Park day, so give your family time for rides, attractions, meals and holiday activities.

Plan around your children's energy levels. Younger children may enjoy taking breaks between rides and holiday entertainment.

Leave time for photos. The gigantic LEGO Christmas Tree, seasonal decorations and LEGO characters create plenty of family photo opportunities.

Dress for Florida weather. December and January can bring cooler evenings, but Florida weather can change throughout the day. Check the forecast before leaving for the Theme Park.

Check Annual Pass blockout dates. If you are an Annual Passholder, confirm that your selected Christmas Bricktacular date is included with your pass.
