Families Can Book the Perfect Holiday Getaway During Annual Great Wolf Lodge Snowland Celebration

New Snow Globe experience with holiday light show and DIY treats from celebrity chef and TV personality Duff Goldman brings holiday magic to select resorts

CHICAGO, Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Wolf Lodge will kick off its annual Snowland celebration, running from Nov. 24 through Jan. 6, giving families one of the best holiday getaways of the season. Guests are surrounded by the sights and sounds of the holidays including towering trees, twinkling lights, and the crackle of the fireplace. Families are invited to enjoy festive crafts, games, Santa visits, and a daily indoor snowfall in the Grand Lobby.

Families visiting select Great Wolf Lodge locations can enjoy a festive new experience — Snow Globes at Snowland. Brought to life in partnership with Food Network's hit show, Holiday Baking Championship, families can step inside a giant snow globe transformed into a snow-kissed wonderland for a magical holiday experience.

During a 30-minute synchronized light show, hundreds of sparkling lights dance in rhythm with holiday tunes while families enjoy a sweet surprise — a custom cookie-decorating kit created by Food Network star and celebrity chef Duff Goldman. Each kit features festive sugar cookies and colorful toppings, so families can design their own edible masterpieces with decorating tips from Duff himself.

Afterward, families can warm up at the build-your-own hot chocolate bar featuring sweet toppings for a cozy treat. Between sips, families can enjoy classic board games for screen-free fun, making Snowland at Great Wolf Lodge one of the top family holiday activities this season.
