The snow will fall, literally, in Orlando this winter, as part of Light Up 麻豆原创, the annual family winter wonderland featuring ice skating, rides, and holiday attractions. The activities will be held at the CFE Arena through Jan. 5.

At Light Up 麻豆原创, families can enjoy a number of free activities, including the Holiday Light Show and the Holiday Film Festival presented by SeaWorld.

The Holiday Light Show is made up of thousands of individual lights that pulse and strobe across the arena fa莽ade, palm trees, and ice rink pavilion in perfect synchronization and choreographed to various holiday songs. The falling simulated snow creates a magical effect during every light show.

The Holiday Film Festival combines a 鈥渓iving room鈥 setting with the feel of a drive-in movie, allowing families to gather under the stars to view their favorite holiday films on a two-story movie screen.

The Light Up 麻豆原创 Ice Rink Pavilion in front of the arena has become a popular activity through the years. Guests are invited to enjoy Central Florida鈥檚 largest outdoor ice skating rink while gliding along to their favorite holiday tunes played by a DJ.

Produced by Global Spectrum, operators of CFE Arena, Light听Up 麻豆原创 features rides suitable for the entire family, ranging from the CFE Federal Credit Union Ferris Wheel, where riders can enjoy a panoramic view of the 麻豆原创 Campus, to the Santa Train, great for children of all ages.

Visitors can also check out the Arctic Glide Ice Slide, presented by Orlando Sanford International Airport, where they can climb to the top of the tower and glide on disc sleds across the 100-foot ice way. Making its second appearance, the Blizzard offers a whirling and twirling thrill ride, where patrons can twist, tilt, and spin.

A charity 5K race has been added to the list of events. Supporting Second Harvest Food Bank and Children鈥檚 Miracle Network Hospitals with 麻豆原创鈥檚 Knight-thon, the Light Up 麻豆原创 Knight Run is open to people of all ages and activity levels. Wear your most creative holiday costume and join the fun on Saturday, Nov. 23. Groups are encouraged to participate and are eligible for best group costume. Visit www.CFEArena.com for registration.

And bring non-perishable food items to donate during the weekend鈥檚 Stuff-A-Truck campaign for those in need.

Visitors can also stop by the Coca-Cola Santa鈥檚 Workshop, where they can share their Christmas wishes and have a photo taken with Santa. The Fun Spot Community Stage will offer visitors local talent to watch and enjoy.
