About this adventure
Returning to Nationals Park for the first time in three seasons, Enchant Christmas transforms the Major League Baseball diamond into the world's largest illuminated light maze adventure. Under the 2026 theme 'Night of the Nutcrackers,' families embark on a whimsical quest across the stadium field, navigating towering 80-foot illuminated light structures, walk-through reindeer arches, and shimmering pine forests to locate eight missing legendary Nutcracker guardians. Beyond the maze, kids and parents can glide along the custom real-ice skating trail that winds through dazzling neon tree groves, speed down the snow tubing hill, and whisper Christmas wish lists to Santa Claus at Santa's Landing. The stadium concourses host a bustling European-style artisan Christmas village filled with handcrafted toys, gourmet cinnamon buns, hot mulled wine, and steaming mugs of cocoa. Stroller parking is available near the field entrance, and the ballpark concourses feature full elevator accessibility and family restrooms.
