This year's Holiday Lights is our brightest ever - and our longest, running through Jan. 4, 2026! To celebrate the super-sized season, we're taking things up a notch with a massive spin on a park staple. Join us on Friday, Dec. 19, for the grand reveal of our Colossal Hot Chocolate Cup. Standing 14 feet tall, this can't-miss photo op could hold an astounding 800 gallons of hot chocolate and includes eight giant cookies up to 3 feet in diameter, two 4-foot-tall candy canes, and a generous 3-foot-tall swirl of whipped cream to top it off. Plus, 54 feet of oversized popcorn garland - for extra cheer!
The numbers are impressive! Now, we want you to join in the joy and guess how many mini marshmallows it would take to fill our Colossal Hot Chocolate Souvenir Cup. Whether you base your guess on vibes or you've crunched the merry math, we want to hear them all. You can submit your best guess now through 11:59 PM on Monday, Dec. 15.
Your guess will enter you into our Colossal Hot Chocolate Cup Sweepstakes! One lucky participant will be randomly selected on Wednesday, Dec. 17, and win four Kennywood admission tickets to attend the grand reveal on Dec. 19, two 2026 Gold Season Passes, one Kennywood souvenir hot chocolate cup, and an opportunity to ride the Gingerbread Express with Santa.
