Before we get to the holiday fun though, a look at the updated front entrance where all of the ticket booths have been removed other than the ones on each side.

It definitely opens up this area and it will be interesting to see if they open it up more in the weeks and months to come. We definitely wouldn't be mad if they made the entry plaza after security bigger to accommodate the crowds during the summer for both Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor.

Iconic Park Entry!

Also wanted to take a possible last look at the Golden Bear Theater, which is slated for demolition soon.

Saw so many great shows in here. Weird Al. Jars of Clay. Okay, so like two.

But there were a lot of iconic shows here over the years including Oingo Boingo, New Kids on the Block. Jonas Brothers, Spinal Tap (with puppets).

Could this be the last event displayed on this iconic sign?

We also had a new video last week where we detailed what we could see in this spot, and also Knott's Camp Snoopy changes. Check it out below!

Alright, let's get into the Holiday fun! Santa and Mrs. Claus wished us a happy anniversary!

I think there are 2 days of Hanukkah left?

Did you know all of the holiday characters come out from backstage here like the monsters in Fright Fest? We didn't. It was very cool, wish we would have known so we could get video.

Severe lack of sliders, but still incredible! Plus, snow!

Heading over to get our Gleampunk on!

Would it be a holiday event with no hot chocolate? You can even enhance it with some awesome flavorings!

The decorations back here seemed a bit lacking this year, but the playlist is amazing!

The bus is back!!

I have to admit, this is one of my favorite holiday area's of any park.

We end our visit back in the front of the park, with some incredible lights.

Even a bit of haunt fog to enjoy!
