It is kind of a little show in the atrium. The cruise director welcomes all the Disney characters in Christmas costumes, there are dancers (I think those who dance in the theatrical shows), Santa arrives. And the at the end, two sisters who then make it snow.
Hope this helps! I think there is a video by DCL out there about the Very Merrytime offerings, I will try to find that.
My kids have done the tree lighting twice and really like it...agree not much to it, but the kids are so excited and it can't help but get you in the holiday spirit!
