Guests will indulge in a three-course holiday feast which, true to the time of Merlin, will be eaten sans utensils. The festive meal includes a rich Dragon's Blood (tomato) Soup, fresh Cornish Game Hen, flavorful stuffing cake, tasty baked jeweled yams, freshly roasted broccoli trees and a decadent holiday apple strudel.

Audiences will witness the mythical Merlin summon snowfall on the Kingdoms while listening to holiday-inspired music, poems and songs performed by the cast. "Tournament of Kings: 'Twas the Knight" will feature magnificently designed holiday costumes, majestic banners, flags and a castle light that will illuminate the spirit of the holiday season upon the lands. The vignettes created for the holiday show include a specially choreographed ribbon dance, a skilled rider upon an Andalusian stallion and Santa Claus dropping in to wish all a good night.
