Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio runs on select dates from November 21 to December 23, 2026, according to the park’s official event page. It is a daytime-into-evening festival with Christmas lights, live shows, Santa and seasonal food layered over the regular park. The park has not published a list of new attractions for 2026 yet, so this guide covers the confirmed dates and the returning features from last year, which the park will likely bring back.
The event suits families, couples and locals who want a holiday outing with some rides thrown in. The park lists dazzling lights, festive live shows, select rides and attractions, Santa, and specialty holiday food and drink. Live shows, light displays, select activities and most rides come with park admission. Food, drink, merchandise and select holiday experiences cost extra. Because dates are ‘select,’ not every day in the range is an event day, so check the park calendar before you buy.

What’s new for 2026
As of late September 2026, the park has not announced new houses, zones or shows for this year. The official event page lists the dates and the general lineup of lights, shows, Santa and holiday food, and it does not name new additions. The park’s 2025 press release, dated November 19, 2025, described a new 70-foot artificial fir billed as the tallest traditional-style holiday tree in San Antonio. That is a 2025 item, so treat it as a likely returning feature rather than a 2026 debut.
The park also lists a separate Rockin’ New Year’s celebration from December 26 to December 31, 2026, so you can plan a holiday trip on either side of Christmas. Check the events page for that event’s details closer to the date.
Lights, shows and holiday entertainment
The park describes Holiday in the Park as dazzling lights and festive live shows, plus Santa. It has not published the 2026 show list yet. Last year’s release named The Majesty of Christmas, which features live animals, a musical adaptation of A Christmas Carol, and Feliz Navidad with Mariachi Los Soberanos. Last year’s release also gave a light count and a total show count, but those figures may change, so we are not repeating them as 2026 numbers.
Showtimes change from day to day. The park points guests to the Six Flags app for showtimes and directions while they are inside, so download it before you arrive and plan your evening around the shows you want most.
Rides and attractions open
The park says select rides and attractions operate during Holiday in the Park, and most rides are included with admission. It does not publish a list of which rides run, and it has not said whether water attractions are open. Winter weather can close individual rides, especially on cold or wet evenings, so the lineup will vary by day. Check the Six Flags app for ride status when you arrive.
Holiday food and treats
The park promotes specialty holiday food and drink, sold separately from admission. The 2026 menu has not been published. Last year’s press release listed items such as a stuffed turkey leg, Rudolf brisket bites, s’mores funnel cake and a candy cane cold brew served in a collectible souvenir mug. Expect a similar mix of seasonal snacks and drinks, but confirm what is on offer when you visit.
Tickets, passes and upgrades
Park admission covers live shows, light displays, select activities and most rides. Food, drink, merchandise and select holiday experiences need a separate purchase. The official page links to daily tickets, season passes and group tickets. Ask the park or check the passes page to confirm whether your season pass covers the event dates you want, since the event runs only on select dates.
Buy tickets on the official Six Flags Fiesta Texas site so the date you choose matches an event day. The park is at 17000 IH-10 West, San Antonio, TX 78257.
Tips for your visit
Look at the park calendar first, because Holiday in the Park does not run every day between November 21 and December 23. The park’s own event page does not give crowd guidance, and it does not list hours by date, so confirm opening and closing times for your day. Dress in layers, since San Antonio evenings can turn chilly and some rides may pause in bad weather. Save the Six Flags app for showtimes, ride status and directions, and plan to see your priority shows early in the evening.
