The most wonderful time of the year is returning to Six Flags Over Georgia in a dazzling new form. The park has announced the triumphant comeback of Holiday in the Park, completely redesigned from the ground up and launching in fall 2026.
This beloved seasonal tradition promises a fresh era of immersive holiday magic, blending spectacular entertainment, thrilling rides, millions of twinkling lights, and unforgettable family moments.From the moment guests step through sparkling gateways into cozy winter villages, the park will transform into a living holiday storybook.
Expect fully immersive themed lands adorned with elaborate décor and infused with distinctive Georgia flair. The season will burst with more live entertainment than ever, including nightly tree-lighting spectaculars, roaming carolers, festive parade floats, and captivating indoor mainstage shows that bring the magic alive from day into night.
A Multi-Year Creative Transformation
The return of Holiday in the Park kicks off a multi-year investment in the event. In 2026, guests will explore three brand-new, fully immersive themed lands. Additional lands will debut in subsequent years, steadily expanding the footprint and storytelling to elevate the experience season after season.
The creative vision is spearheaded by Logan Wince, an accomplished creative director known for blending theatrical design, compelling storytelling, and large-scale park transformations. Entertainment Director Kelly Daugherty described the heartfelt approach behind the redesign.
“This event is about wrapping our guests in warmth, wonder and joy the moment they step through the gates,” Daugherty said. “Every detail—from the lighting and décor to the music, characters and shows—has been carefully designed to feel emotionally rich, playful, and celebratory. We wanted each land to feel like you’ve stepped inside a holiday dream, where traditions feel familiar but the experience is fresh, awe-inspiring and full of heart.”
“I may have just joined the Six Flags Over Georgia team, but together we’re moving fast to enhance the 2026 season beyond our guests’ expectations,” said Richard Pretlow, park president. “They spoke, and we listened. Holiday in the Park has been a treasured tradition here, and we’re excited to bring it back—reimagined, redesigned and ready to sparkle with the magic that only Georgia can bring.”
Festive Activities and Thrilling ExperiencesBeyond the stunning environments, visitors can enjoy a wide array of interactive holiday experiences, including:
- Photos with Santa Claus
- A family-friendly indoor walk-through attraction
- Cookie decorating and gingerbread house building

Many of the park’s beloved thrill rides and kids’ areas will remain open, giving families the chance to enjoy daytime excitement and then experience the breathtaking beauty of holiday lights during nighttime rides. Full operating dates, hours, show lineups, and ride details will be announced later, with schedules optimized for daytime warmth and evening sparkle.“In 2026, festive traditions shine again. New memories are made. And the magic glows brighter than ever when Holiday in the Park returns—reimagined, redesigned and ready to wow,” Daugherty added.
