After you've skated, why not warm up with some hot chocolate and other holiday-themed treats the park is serving up.

While you're there, get started on some Christmas shopping by visiting the boutiques that offer various holiday decor and souvenirs.

Don't forget to take visit the North Pole and take a photo with Santa, it's a holiday tradition!
