Los Angeles, California
The holidays at Six Flags Magic Mountain are, well, magical! While there’s fun to be had all over the park, the Holiday Square sounds like the place I’d like to linger. Thousands of colorful Christmas lights illuminate the square, carolers stroll the streets, and snowflakes intermittently fall each evening.

Atlantans have quite the smorgasbord of holiday activities at Six Flags Over Georgia. Hop aboard the North Pole Express, step inside a giant snow globe, roast marshmallows over a fire pit, or simply stroll the streets to soak up the beauty of this winter wonderland. Plan to arrive early so that you don’t miss the ceremonial Christmas tree lighting that occurs every night at 6 p.m. And, that’s not all—in honor of National Ugly Sweater Day (today!) you can get into the park with half-price admission when you wear your tacky holiday sweater.
