Hersheypark Christmas Candylane Family Vlog 2025

For the second year in a row, we were able to drive out to visit Hersheypark during their Christmas event called Christmas Candylane! It’s so much fun to see an amusement park in a totally different way – all decorated up for Christmas and oozing festive cheer!

Hersheypark offers an incredible mix of thrills, Christmas-themed attractions, and beautiful LIGHTS! We had such a fun afternoon and evening at the park (despite temperatures falling into the low 30’s!) Despite the cold temps, the park kept their major roller coasters open way longer than we expected – there’s nothing like riding Candymonium or Wildcat’s Revenge in December in the 30’s!

Of course, we can never visit Hersheypark without a stop in to Chocolate World! A ride on the Chocolate Factory Tour (which is all decked out for Christmas) was at the top of our kids’ “must do” list. AND as the cherry on top of our evening, we also got to experience Hershey’s Sweet Lights – their Christmas Lights drive through tour.

We highly recommend visiting Hersheypark during the Christmas season – the park is beautiful and there is something for everyone to enjoy!

And because – what’s a blog post without photos – here are just a few (these are a mix of iPhone snaps & photos taken with my “big” camera).

Hi Im Kara Abbey a Wedding Photographer in Irwin PA

Hi! I'm Kara!

Welcome to my blog!

I'm a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer and wedding content creator with a love for storytelling, both on wedding days and beyond.

I've been part of the wedding industry since 2009, documenting 250+ wedding days and helping couples preserve the moments, big and small, that make their day uniquely theirs.

When I'm not working a wedding, you'll probably find me creating videos for my personal YouTube channel, The Adventuring Abbeys, where my family and I share our love of amusement parks, roller coasters, and travel.

Around here, you'll find wedding inspiration and behind-the-scenes content, family adventures, amusement park visits, travel stories, and a little bit of everyday life.

I'm so glad you're here!
