FTC Disclosure: I will be receiving two passes to visit Christmas Town in the month of December in exchange for social media love. While the tickets are being given to me for free, this has not affected my opinions of Busch Gardens or their Christmas Town event.
Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay’s annual holiday tradition, Christmas Town™ is back in town for the holidays now through December 31st. And, this season they are keeping it open for an extended Three Kings Day Celebration from Jan. 1 through Jan. 6. I’ve had the amazing pleasure of attending Christmas Town three different times, and it always beams bright with twinkling lights, spectacular shows, holiday shopping and even a visit to Santa’s House! Check out all the amazing things that Christmas Town has to offer, and I hope you will consider attending Busch Gardens for this fun event this year. It’s truly a fabulous way to get into the holiday spirit!!!
