2024 Menu Items for Christmas Town at Busch Gardens, Tampa
Posted on November 15th, 2024
| Mealtrip
Christmas Town at Busch Gardens, Tampa begins on Friday November 15th, 2024 and takes place every day through January 5th, 2025! There's all kinds of festive holiday offering including Santa's North Pole Experience, Rudolph's Winter Wonderland, an Ice Skating show, holiday lights, fireworks, and of course — holiday food and beverages! Some of the Christmas Town Village Food & Beverage Cabins are located in the "festival food loop" (around the Garden Gate Cafe), but there's too many cabins to fit into just this one area — so now there's cabins popping up all around the park — If it's anything like year's past, the food and beverage cabins should all be open by 4:00pm (although it's not really written anywhere this year)… and usually stay open until park close (or "area close" in some locations).
The Christmas Town Sampler Lanyard is back this year, and it's a great way to try the food and beverage samples that the festival has to offer — A 5 Item Sampler Lanyard will be available for $45 each (plus tax) and a 10 Item Sampler Lanyard for $65 each (plus tax) — I think the exclusive 12 Item Sampler Lanyard for annual passholders is back as well (that gets you 2 extra samples for the same price as the 10 Item Sampler) — but you'll need to be logged into the official Busch Gardens Annual Passholder Page to access that deal.
Our "tap to highlight" feature is turned on for this page — so as you're going through the list, just tap on the items you're interested in and we'll highlight them for you. The highlight information is saved on your device and the items you've selected should still be highlighted when you visit the event!
