“Shamu’s Christmas” – Shamu and friends celebrate Christmas with music and merriment, including soloists, a hand sign choir, community carolers and a saxophonist. The park’s 5,500-seat Shamu Stadium becomes a winter wonderland, with holiday scenes on the 80-foot-wide LED screen, and, of course, Shamu spreading holiday cheer for all.
