As the last jack-o'-lanterns dim and the autumnal shadows yield to the festive lights of the season, Asterix Park bids farewell to its Halloween spectacles and ushers in the warmth and brilliance of Christmas. In a transition as natural as the changing seasons, the park undergoes a transformation from a place of frights to one of heartwarming holiday delight, showcasing the Gallic spirit in its full festive glory.
Anticipation of Christmas in November
As early as November, the park begins to set the stage for the festive season ahead. Selected weekends are reserved for exclusive Christmas celebrations, offering a preview of the festive cheer that awaits all visitors in December. These special events are crafted in collaboration with over 250 works and social committees, delivering a unique pre-Christmas experience for their members.
Gallic Christmas Welcomes All
From December 23rd to January 7th, the park transforms into a haven of Christmas joy. It's not just the rides and attractions that are the focus but also the festively adorned landscapes and lively shows, specially designed for the season.
"The Wonderful Gardens of Santa Claus"
A seasonal highlight is the "Wonderful Gardens of Santa Claus". Families are invited to explore three magical realms: the Enchanted Forest, the Icy Valley, and Santa’s Village. These areas offer an immersive experience accessible throughout the day, enchanting both young and old with the wonders of Christmas.
A Parade of Gallic Cheer
The centerpiece of the festivities is the Gallic Christmas Parade, featuring a cavalcade of beloved comic characters adorned with festive colors and bright decorations. This year, a new pirate-themed float joins the procession, which traditionally winds its way through the park, creating unforgettable moments.
Culinary Delights in a Wintry Disguise
The park’s culinary offerings are no less impressive. Traditional dishes are given a Christmas twist: a sauerkraut menu paired with Senlis beer or a Christmas burger flavored with gingerbread and topped with raclette cheese. These delicacies are served in festively decorated chalets and at the Dolmen Gourmand, promising a true feast for the palate.
Christmas Market and Shows: A Feast for the Senses
The traditional Christmas market, with its array of artisanal creations and local specialties, invites visitors to linger. The shows, staged specifically for the festive season, complete the experience and ensure a day of entertainment in a Gallic setting.
