It's time to deck those Hershey halls and get ready to eat some chocolate. Wait, that isn't how the song goes but maybe it is if you're headed to Hershey's Chocolate World.
Christmas arrived at Hershey's Chocolate World on November 15th and a must-see travel stop in Pennsylvania is even better. Let me honest though, I love Hershey's Chocolate World and no matter what season, it's worth the trip.
Starting with the Christmas experiences, there are some returning favorites and ones that are all new for 2024. For 2024, the beloved Hershey's Chocolate Making Tour Ride is getting a holiday makeover and honestly, I'm here for it. I've ridden this many times and frankly, putting a holiday twist on it sounds absolutely amazing.
If that wasn't enough, HCW is celebrating the season in a big way after 6:00 pm every twenty minutes as a way to welcome guests. According to the press release shared with Culturess, it will include: " Dancing lights, exciting holiday music, and snow will enchant the entrance way to Hershey's Chocolate World like never before." That sounds like a way to kick off the holiday season.

Rounding out the new experiences, the final one is arguably the most exciting. This year, the Grinch is making a comeback along with his good buddy, Max. Honestly, Max is such a huge part of the Grinch's story so it's awesome to see him making an appearance. If anything, that's more than enough incentive to pack up your little ones and make a trip to HCW.
If you're headed there as a foodie, no problem as there are plenty of treats to try. Whether you're craving some sweets like a KIT KAT Duos S'mores Milkshake or a Reese's Sugar Cookie, you can get something to feed your sweet tooth. If you want something of the more adult variety, there is a York Peppermint Patty Spiked Melted Hot Chocolate, made using whole bars of Hershey's chocolate and crème de menthe.
For those craving something warm and familiar, Hershey's Chocolate World is bringing back some favorite holiday experiences from years past. You can admire Hershey's Holiday Chocolate House which is made using Hershey's candy and chocolate. It also supports Children's Miracle Network which is awesome. Mrs. Claus is even in on the fun as she's a part of Cookies & Cheer with Mrs. Claus with milk, cookies, caroling and so much more.
