Does Seaworld do anything special for Christmas? Do they have decorations?

I went a few years back during Christmas. Yes, the do have decorations including a Christmas Tree in the Park. Santa is there so kids can visit and carolers as well as snow flurries. They have a watershow that "dances" to Christmas music and Hoilday shows. I also heard that they transformed the Wild Arctic into the polar express but haven't gotten to see that yet!

They start decorating the Polar Express(Wild Artic) the middle of November. It is closed while they transform it. But when it reopens the themeing is quite good. Santa is there at the North Pole and they have northern lights.

I am not sure if they do or not during Christmas time, I would assume so.

They also do a Shamu Christmas show- can't remember the name this morning but it is quite good, too. I love the Polar express conversion of Wild Arctic. Great opportunity for family photos in several places, too.

I think they still have Shamu Santa out in the park, too. We like SW at Christmas. It gets crowded though Christmas week so plan more than 1 day if you can.

BTW if you want a Florida Christmas card picture.......If you position it just right you can get a cool picture of the SW Christmas tree near the entrance , with the SW lighthouse in the entrance pond, flanked by Palm trees. It looks really cool if you get it centered the right way.
