“We’re determined to keep the magic of the holidays alive. Friends and family can throw on their comfy pajamas, pile in the car, and experience our vibrant holiday event to create memories that will last a lifetime,” said COTA Chairman Bobby Epstein in a release.
Guests will experience the entire event in the comfort of their own cars. The journey starts when patrons follow this year’s special hosts Pepper and Mint on their journey down COTA’s Tunnel Road as they race to deliver their letters to Santa. The experience will feature dancing elves and other festive entertainers strolling through dazzling scenes, transporting guests from gingerbread alley to an enchanted forest, and so much more.
