Movie Park Germany is to embrace the Christmas season for the first time with the park opening for 24 days over the festive period.
Entitled Movie Park’s Hollywood Christmas, Movie Park Germany will open its winter studio gates for the first time between December 1, 2023 and January 7, 2024. The opening hours of the park are scheduled from 12:00 to 20:00.
“In keeping with the American influence of our film and amusement park, a real American Christmas event is a natural fit!” says director Thorsten Backhaus.
“We’re excited to create a new winter program for the whole family with ‘Movie Park’s Hollywood Christmas’ and extend the season even further. For this we adapt our entertainment offer and our shows, the themed areas and the gastronomic offer and let Hollywood wake up in winter.
“With the theme ‘American Christmas’ we can not only distinguish ourselves specifically from other amusement parks and Christmas markets, but also further highlight our American roots and identity.”
After the last Halloween day on 12 Nov., Movie Park will decorate the Hollywood set for Christmas and close the park for three weeks, including weekends, to redecorate the set.
“Thousands of lights, colourful decorations, winter music and a typical American Christmas atmosphere make Hollywood in Germany shine again for the whole family,” a delighted Movie Park Germany confirm.
The theme areas of the park are specially adapted to the winter event. Both classic American Christmas movies and the Christmas lights and decorations in American cities serve as inspiration. The event days focus on the centre of the park and four themed areas.
An extensive entertainment programme, selected attractions and detailed decorations are offered. The “Hollywood Boulevard” is transformed into “Christmas Boulevard USA” for the cold season and reminds of a typical American town with countless fairytale lights and colourful decorations.
Meanwhile, The “Streets of New York” are themed after the famous Rockefeller Center in New York. The wintry version of “Nickland” comes to life with the “Nickelodeon HoHoHoliday Land”. A “Wild West Christmas” area will also be created in the western part of the park.
