There are many reasons to attend SeaWorld Orlando’s Christmas Celebration. It has some of the beautiful Christmas decorations at any theme park I have visited. They have wonderful seasonal shows. They play great Christmas music throughout the theme park. We go over the full list of festivities in our SeaWorld Orlando Christmas Guide.
But today I want to talk about food. And we talk about the food and dining options in the guide, particularly the special dining experiences such as the Sesame Street Christmas Breakfast and Dinner with Santa.
But today I want to talk about the food and drink stations set up throughout the park. These food and drink markets are similar to what is up at the park during other events at SeaWorld such as their Seven Seas Food Festival or their Craft Beer Festival.
And their Christmas Celebration is no different. They have a lot of great food and drink options that are perfect for the holiday season. And I want to tell you about the different markets and what you can get at each one! We’ll even spotlight a few menu items as a Green Vacation Deals favorite!

#3: Christmas Comforts
Green Vacation Deals Favorite: Bison Burger
We loved the bison burger! It had perhaps more pickles than we would have liked, but it absolutely did not take away from how good this burger is (though if you do not like pickles that much, you might want to consider taking one or two out if you get a lot of pickles). But we recommend getting this – it works well as a meal, too (especially with one of this festival’s delicious desserts, such as Santa’s mini apple pie!).

#12: Seasons Eatings
Green Vacation Deals Favorite: All Grown Up Birria Grilled Cheese
Sometimes there’s something so comforting about eating the foods we grew up with, and that’s what you get with this grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. But it’s not just any standard sandwich, with great ingredients like smoked cheddar and Texas Toast. This was a favorite of my family.

Festive Food & Sips Sampling Lanyard
Want to save money on all theses delicious food and drink options (and why wouldn’t you?). Then consider purchasing a Festive Food & Sips Sampling Lanyard. We’ve found buying lanyards like these at festivals saves you money. We talked about how the Seven Seas Food Festival Lanyard saved us money here.
Basically, how it works is you purchase one lanyard and it gets you either 5 food or drink items or 10 food or drink items, depending on which lanyard you purchase. This can save you a lot of money versus buying each item individually.
You can purchase one of these lanyards here.
And speaking of saving money, you can find out how to save money on your SeaWorld tickets here.
