For years guests to Cedar Point have been clamoring for a holiday event to celebrate the Christmas season. After a trial run in 1994 of the Christmas in the Park event, that experiment was quickly shelved. However, November and December have been getting warmer than usual, spiking the interest of guests as other parks like zoos and sister parks like Kings Island host holiday event.
When Cedar Fair acquired the Saw Mill Creek property in July 2019, the possibility of a holiday event under Cedar Point’s reigns got one step closer, especially considering the resort held its own holiday event prior to being purchased by Cedar Fair.
Cedar Point has announced that Sawmill Creek will now host Seasons of Joy from November 18 through December 31, 2022.
Sawmill Creek Resort will be decorated for the holidays with lights, trees and holiday decorations to make the experience memorable.
In addition, the resort will host an array of holiday themed live entertainment each night.
The hustle and bustle of the season will be remedied with spectacular entertainment like the “Sawmill Ivory Showdown,” featuring two energetic pianists challenging each other to a battle of holiday music and sing-a-longs. Herman the “elf” comedian will recount the antics he’s witnessed from his household perch as guests see this character in a whole new way.
“A Sawmill Carol,” a comedic take on the Charles Dickens classic, and “Santa’s Helpers” holiday trivia show will take guests along for a silly sleigh ride at Merry Mulligan’s Pub.
Ringing throughout the Sky Lounge, the four-part, a cappella harmonies of the Sawmill Carolers and songbird trio The Mistletones will fill the air with Christmas classics. Entertainment continues into the evening with a live band that made its way to Sawmill Creek while traveling on an “unexpected” journey.
Over in Willow’s Hall, guests can belt out their favorite holiday songs during the “Season Sing-along Show,” then enjoy modern Christmas movies that give a dose of inspiration and cheer during Holiday Movie Nights.
For guests looking for some interactive experiences, the Resort will offer a variety of demonstrations and workshops. “Christmas bow and wreath making, holiday canvas painting with a twist, learning the art of gingerbread house decorating and an ugly sweater soirée are also on the seasonal activities menu.”
