MEET SANTA AT CANDY HARBOR

Every Christmas story begins with a little wonder.

Your adventure begins at Candy Harbor, where you'll meet the holliest, jolliest captain this side of the North Pole.

Then climb aboard his sleigh for a thrilling 6D race through a snowy woodland. But uh-oh! A bump around the bend sends one of his bags tumbling into the sea below, sending Christmas magic drifting through the water.

Now descend beneath the waves and discover an underwater wonderland beyond imagination, where God's incredible marine life and the joy of Christmas come together to create unforgettable family memories.
