Running for the 11th year, guests are transported to the North Pole for the Santa Annual New Toy Awards (the SANTA’s).
Inside you can explore Santa's lodge as well as the Sparkle Copse village, which has snowy trees, sleighs, and animated reindeer and polar bears.
Along with the experience, kids can decorate cookies in the elf workshop, as well as make their own teddy bears.
Santa will be giving out free toys, while you can create some reindeer food to feed Rudolph and the rest of the animals.
And the end of the experience, guests will board a "supersonic train" to return from the North Pole to the UK.
Tickets also include access to the park's soft play area.
Buy a VIP ticket and you get some extras such as goody bags, teddy bear outfits, food, drink and a personalised letter from Father Christmas.
The event is running from November 25 to December 24, with tickets now on sale.
