The weekend-long event will begin with light bites and a fun-filled journey through the Moody Gardens attractions, followed by dinner with the spectacular Cirque Joyeux Holiday Show. After the show, guests can explore the Festival of Lights trail and enjoy a wide variety of different games, music, and activities inside the Convention Center. After exploring the holiday lights trail, families can stop to enjoy hot chocolate and warm cookies as they watch the fireworks light up the night sky. The evening ends with an early New Year’s Countdown for the kids and the Beach Ball Drop as hundreds of balls cascade from the ceiling to welcome the new year.
