The Comcast Holiday Spectacular at the Comcast Center
The Universal Sphere at the Comcast Technology Center
Every holiday season, the Comcast Center Campus brings to life a different type of light show.
Now in its 16th year, the annual Comcast Holiday Spectacular returns to the Comcast Center with its high-res digital holiday shows displayed on one of the world’s largest LED video walls.
A must-see holiday tradition, this free 15-minute video show takes visitors on a festive, musical journey featuring classic holiday songs, performances and a sleigh ride around the world.
This year, the Comcast Holiday Spectacular is joined by DreamWorks Shrek’s Festive Flight, a brand-new short film featuring popular Shrek characters and screening in the Universal Sphere, the free and immersive cinematic experience located in the adjacent Comcast Technology Center.
A handful of other fun, holiday surprises — including visits with Santa and crafts — round out the Holidays at Comcast Center Campus programming.
