When you think about Christmas, what do you think of? Santa Claus with his flying reindeers? family gatherings? glittery trees? lots of gifts? snowmen? holiday music? Charley Brown’s Christmas special? The secular themes are fun and well known to all; but, for many of the Christian faith, Christmas is a joyous celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, born over 2,000 years ago in a humble manger in Bethlehem.

Most of us already know the story of the newborn King but, starting the day after Thanksgiving, over a hundred thousand festive lights will glow and familiar holiday carols and music will play at the Holy Land Experience, where the Christmas story will be re-told in a whole new way unlike any you’ve ever seen or heard!

Have you ever imagined what was going on in Heaven leading up to that glorious day? What did the angels think? How did they prepare for that momentous occasion? See for yourself ─ from the comfort of the park’s stately 2,000-seat Church of All Nations ─ this year’s award-winning theatrical production, aptly named The Fullness of Time Has Come. Watch as the Archangel Michael prepares his army and the glorious angel choir proclaims the arrival of Jesus. Witness as a messenger angel steps into his destiny and delivers the greatest announcement ever made!

The Holy Land Experience in Orlando is a living, biblical museum that takes visitors 2,000 years back in time and 7,000 miles away on an incredible journey through the land and pages of the Bible. All structures and exhibits in the park perfectly mimic the style, architecture, and settings that existed in ancient Jerusalem. The Garden Tomb, Qumran Dead Sea Caves, Great Temple and Plaza, Jerusalem Model, and Wilderness Tabernacle are all intricately detailed and blend together to stimulate your senses and create a spectacular new experience for you and your family that is inspirational, educational, and unforgettable.

The Holy Land Experience is located at 4655 Vineland Rd, Orlando, FL 32811 and open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am ─ 6 pm. The park will be closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.
