The new for 2016 Holiday In The Park Christmas celebration at Six Flags St. Louis, Eureka, Missouri

Hopping in the car to head to Six Flags St. Louis a couple of days before Christmas is really weird.  I mean in general once Halloween is done there is no more Six Flags until Good Friday for us.  As a result it is no surprise that both Bond and I were totally geeking out at the thought of coasters on Christmas weekend for us.

This years Holiday in the Park is Six Flags St. Louis' inaugural Christmas event.  It is also the first Holiday In The Park for Bond and I so the two of us were really curious as to what was in store.

With snow and ice covering everything just twenty-four hours before our visit  it is no surprise that Six Flags St. Louis' entrance fountain has been drained and transformed into a Christmas tree.  Those decorations are just a start to how Six Flags St. Louis was transformed into a winter wonderland for Holiday In The Park.

I expected festive decorations, holiday lights and new shows but I was surprised at the number of portable heaters that Six Flags had all around the park so that anyone could warm up.  Thankfully for us we had wonderfully warm weather with temperatures going from the 40's in day dropping into the 30's as the evening progressed.

With this being the first year for Holiday In The Park I wasn't expecting the park to be insanely covered with lights and decorations but it was nice seeing something at every turn.
