Tonight we’re getting a first hand look at The Queen Mary’s Annual CHILL. Kicking off the holiday season, CHILL returns to the majestic ship with a special opening night of festivities including the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony, hosted by Pitch Perfect 2 star, Chrissie Fit, and Teen Choice Award nominee, New District, with help from Santa Claus. Open select dates through January 8, 2017 CHILL is Southern California’s coolest holiday adventure complete with ice-skating, ice tubing, swingin’ sleigh rides, visits with Santa, gingerbread decorating and the all-new interactive attraction, Alice in Winterland.
This year at CHILL, enjoy the tale of Alice in Winterland, a 14,000-square foot walk-through adventure. Follow Alice and friend on an adventure into the Hall of Doors, the White Rabbit’s Kitchen, Mad Hatter’s Work Shop, the infamous Tea Party, Hedge Maze, Caterpillar Garden and the newest addition to the beloved story, Queen of Diamonds.
While the Winterland is quite cold, CHILL at The Queen Mary offers parka’s for the entire family. I’d still recommend dressing for the occasion in pants, sweaters, gloves and scarves.
