A holiday tradition for more than 40 years, Hersheypark Christmas Candylane has become a regular stop for many Pennsylvania families. The event features the most holiday lights of any amusement park in the state and is one of the few places in the Northeast where visitors can see all nine of Santa’s live reindeer, according to the park. This year also includes the return of a holiday stage show for the first time since 2019 and the seasonal debut of Twizzlers Twisted Gravity Screamin’ Swing, described by the park as the tallest ride of its kind in the world. Weather permitting, several roller coasters operate during the event, giving riders a view of the lights.
