Sesame Place in Langhorne has added an all-new event option this Christmas season. In addition to the park’s popular holiday event A Very Furry Christmas, guests can now experience the park in a new way during The Furry & Bright Christmas Drive-Thru, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, through Dec. 23, beginning at 5 p.m.
From the comfort of their own vehicle, guests will journey through a winter wonderland with millions of twinkling lights, holiday décor, a festive holiday soundtrack and everyone’s favorite Sesame Street friends dressed in their warm winter best.
“The Not-Too-Spooky Halloween Drive-Thru was our first ever event of this kind. Thanks to the feedback from some of the thousands of guests to visit during the Halloween event, we’re excited to offer even more festively themed zones, twinkling lights, and furry friends along the way during The Furry & Bright Drive-Thru,” said park president Cathy Valeriano. “As we continue to promote our enhanced health and safety protocols, our guests are also invited to make holiday memories during A Very Furry Christmas where they can warm up next to a toasty fire, enjoy tasty treats of the season, see a holiday-themed show, ride on their favorite rides and more.”
The Drive-Thru includes tuning in to a special radio station to listen to music from The Neighborhood Street Party Christmas Parade; oversized character topiaries dressed for the winter season; Candy Cane Lane lined with 6-foot versions of the iconic treat; a 50-foot tunnel of twinkling lights; greetings by favorite furry friends; an illuminated 9-foot menorah in celebration of Hanukkah; and a wave from Santa Claus.
While face coverings are not required throughout the experience, they are required at transaction points (admission, merchandise and culinary).
Guests must purchase a separate admission ticket online, in advance for this event. Tickets start at $45 per vehicle for non-season pass members, and $36 per vehicle for season pass members. Season pass members can also apply their discount to culinary and specialty merchandise bundles (admission is not included for season pass members).
A Very Furry Christmas, the park’s annual holiday event, is modified with enhanced health and safety measures, including enhanced cleaning and sanitizing, face covering requirements, temperature checks, physical distancing and limited capacity. This gives guests the opportunity to safely visit the park on weekends and select dates from Nov. 21 through Jan. 3, in addition to the Drive-Thru experience.
