Natale a Cinecittà World (Christmas at Cinecittà World)

Rome's cinema amusement park becomes a gigantic Christmas Village with Natale a Cinecittà World.

The magic of the most beloved holiday of the year lights up amidst the decorations, lights, and garlands adorning the Christmas Street markets in 1920s New York, where you can choose the perfect gift while tasting typical Christmas sweets.

The day starts at 11 a.m. in a crescendo of performances against the backdrop of the sets that made Cinema history with the Christmas Show and culminates in the evening with the Christmas Musical at Teatro 4.

Don't miss Polvere di Stelle - Il Festival delle luminarie (Stardust - The Festival of Illuminations), the evocative Christmas light show among fantastic animals, colourful trees, decorations, and light effects to be enjoyed as the sun goes down, and Gocce di Cinema (Drops of Cinema) to relive the most beautiful scenes of all time projected on a giant water screen in the main square of the Park.

If you love tradition, visit Santa Claus's House and meet him in person to send off your letter with the help of the elves. The Presepe del Cinema (Cinema Crib), on the other hand, awaits you at the Tempio di Erode (Herod's Temple).

Realistic snow and North Pole atmospheres in the Regno del Ghiaccio (Kingdom of Ice), Italy's only indoor snow-park where you can have fun with Pattiniamo, the traditional skating rink, Scivolone, a multi-track for fun downhill rides on rubber dinghies, Kamikice, for plummeting unrestrained through the curves of a whirling slide, and Palle di neve, the winter playground where you can climb soft white mountains and engage in traditional snow battles with your friends.

I-Fly, the virtual roller coaster, has always been synonymous with incredible thrills and adrenaline from a real rollercoaster, but 30 centimetres above the ground: wear the special visors to fly on Santa's Sleigh and deliver presents to children around the world.

On the weekends of 2 and 3 December and 8, 9, and 10 December, Digital Circus in Wonderland arrives at Teatro 4, the immersive experience in which dream and reality alternate in a succession of emotions to amaze adults and children alike with colours, lights and fantastic projections.

25 December sees the debut of Christmas On Ice, the ice skating show with 51 performers performing choreographies and music evocative of Christmas: 60 minutes of magic with the participation of award-winning guests.

On 25 December, the Park is open for the Holy Mass, Christmas lunch, shows, and attractions for adults and children.

The celebrations culminate on 31 December with Italy's biggest New Year's Eve: eight themed dinners and suppers, forty attractions, discos, concerts, and live shows, and midnight with fireworks.

The 2023 season ends with the Befana weekend, full of surprises for young and old.
