5 Reasons Winter Wonder Shoppe is a Holiday Highlight in Orlando
As many of us remember from our childhoods, the excitement of attending the circus peaks when you spot the giant striped tent. The same feeling is replicated as the entire spectacle of Cirque Mechanics Winter Wonder Shoppe unfolds inside a Big Top on our Seneff Arts Plaza. Guarded from the elements and outside distractions, you’ll be fully transported into a whimsical world once you step inside. Cirque Mechanics has created a truly immersive holiday experience through talented acts and storytelling.
Cirque Mechanics Winter Wonder Shoppe, supported by Chick-Fil-A Greater Orlando, will be spreading holiday cheer from December 12-29, 2024. Let’s take a look at the top five reasons why Winter Wonder Shoppe deserves a spot on your Orlando holiday itinerary.
Family-Friendly Fun
Winter Wonder Shoppe is more than just a show—it's a fully immersive holiday experience. As soon as kids (and grown-ups) step into the Big Top tent, they'll be surrounded by holiday magic. With playful storytelling and captivating performances, there’s something to entertain the whole group. And don't worry, we’ve got plenty of kid-approved snacks to fuel that festive energy. (More on those snacks later!) Make this experience a new addition to your holiday traditions this year.
Holiday Magic
Looking to get into the spirit of the season? This event promises to deliver all the holly jolly fun you’re craving! The tent will be alive with festive scenery, joyful music and vibrant displays. You’ll be captivated by a heartwarming tale that celebrates the spirit of giving, brought to life by performers in delightful holiday attire. The Cirque Mechanics experience is sure to put you in the Christmas mood!
Incredible Acts & Innovative Entertainment
The troupe consists of highly trained cirque performers who specialize in unique acts, including aerialists, contortionists, jugglers and more. Adding to the excitement are mechanical props, such as trampoline carts and boiler trolleys, which are incorporated into their performances, creating an artistic spectacle. The combination of skill, creativity and technology makes Winter Wonder Shoppe a must-see holiday event!
Festive Circus Snacks
So, we have cirque performers and a massive Big Top. What are we missing? Snacks, of course! Festive red and green cotton candy is made fresh with natural sugar cane. Try Cirque Mechanic’s signature pink lemonade or warm up with hot cocoa. (Don’t worry, the tent is air-conditioned!) A selection of wine, beer and spirits will also be available to get you in the merry mood.
VIP Options for Extra Fun
Those interested in taking a peek behind the curtain can select a VIP ticket. VIP guests will attend a talkback with the artists to learn about the process behind the creation and execution of the show. The VIP experience also includes preferred seating and early entry to the venue, allowing you to kick off the holiday party with a jolly cocktail or helping of fresh cotton candy before the show.
