About this adventure
Nestled beneath Georgia's iconic quartz monzonite dome, Stone Mountain Christmas transforms Stone Mountain Park into a sprawling winter holiday carnival glowing with over two million twinkling holiday lights. The signature experience is the Christmas Sing-Along Train, a full-sized 1940s locomotive excursion that circles the five-mile base of the mountain while passengers sing timeless holiday carols and hear the story of the first Christmas. Back in the Crossroads festive village, families experience nightly simulated snowfalls, costumed Dickens carolers, and the colorful 6:00 PM Christmas Parade featuring Santa and Mrs. Claus. Evenings reach a crescendo at 6:30 PM with the Enchanted Tree Lighting Ceremony featuring Santa's Big Flight overhead in his reindeer-drawn sleigh, culminating at 8:20 PM with the cutting-edge Magical Christmas Drone & Light Show where hundreds of color-changing synchronized drones and laser projections illuminate the mountain face, set to a festive holiday soundtrack and capped with a pyrotechnic fireworks finale. Daytime park attractions including the Scenic Railroad, Dinotorium, and Summit Skyride are open before sunset.
