You will travel through the Village, visiting theatrical scenes that illuminate the link between many of today’s cherished holiday traditions and the cultural customs of generations that came before.

Separate reservations are required in advance for Yuletide Dinner, which will be available the same nights at Yuletide in the Country Tours, December 6-8, 13-15, and 19-21.
