SeaWorld Orlando to debut new winter shows

SeaWorld Orlando may be under new management, but winter festivities this year will be business as usual. In addition to the Polar Express Experience theming of the Wild Arctic ride, the park is adding three new shows to the mix.

Perhaps the most widely appealing is "A Sesame Street Christmas." The show features Big Bird, Elmo, and the rest of the crew from 123 Sesame Street helping Abby Cadabby learn about the wonders of Christmas in musical form. Characters will be available after each show for signings and meet-and-greets.

The second new show is "Clyde and Seamore's Countdown to Christmas." This show spotlights sea lions Clyde and Seamore in a Christmas comedy show.

The third and final new show to debut this year is "Winter Wonderland on Ice." This show is a "holiday-themed" ice-skating show performed at SeaWorld's Bayside Stadium. The show features a plethora of ice skaters, fountains, and fireworks.

Both "Clyde and Seamore's Countdown to Christmas" and "Winter Wonderland on Ice" will run on select nights between Nov. 27 and Jan. 3. [Orlando Attractions Magazine]
