Enchant Christmas to Transform Nationals Park with its Larger-Than-Life Holiday Light Display

The world’s largest Christmas light maze is making its return with plenty of new attractions for the holiday season.

We can all agree that the must-visit event last holiday season was the magical Enchant Christmas display. And whether you’ve been dreaming about returning to the winter wonderland or have been waiting to get your hands on tickets for the first time, the wait is finally over. 

The world’s largest Christmas light maze and village is heading back to Nationals Park — the stadium’s third time playing host to the festive event — later this year. Enchant will officially welcome guests starting November 25, but tickets for the ever-popular and picturesque setup go on sale on September 15.

“We’re thrilled to host millions of guests again this year while introducing Enchant to millions more as we expand to cities across the U.S.,” said Enchant Christmas founder and CEO Kevin Johnston in a recent press release. “We bring a new story and exciting elements to our featured light maze each year, so guests always have something new to experience when returning to enjoy holiday nights at Enchant with family and friends.”

This year, the 4 million-light display and story-themed maze will be sponsored by the Hallmark Channel, aka the channel known for its Christmas movie lineup. The new sponsorship brings new attractions, like the “Hallmark Cozy Christmas” lounge, Hallmark Channel wine tasting, and an opportunity to win a set visit to a future Hallmark movie.

And if you’re returning to Enchant, don’t worry because your favorite attractions will still be in place. Throughout the maze, guests will be able lace up their skates for ice skating, snack and sip on festive food and drinks, shop for gifts with local vendors, visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, and much more.
