Since its debut in 2008, the Comcast Holiday Spectacular has become a popular attraction for Philadelphians and tourists during the holiday season.

The highlight of the free 15-minute show is the magic sleigh ride that travels through the countryside and flies above the city. The audience is invited to participate in a singalong while watching.

Catch the show at the top of the hour daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with the exception of 5 p.m. on weekdays.

Visitors on Saturdays and Sundays can meet Santa after watching the Comcast Holiday Spectacular. He will be on campus every hour from 11:20 a.m. to 3:20 p.m.

This year, there's also a holiday photo op at the Comcast Center's plaza. Visitors can step inside a life-size snow globe to pose for a picture with The Grinch from Illumination's new animated movie.
