Get ready to jingle all the way because it’s that time of year—Christmas in July! On Saturday, July 18th, BarCodes Orlando is turning the heat up with its Annual Christmas in July Bash. From 8 PM to 2 AM, this festive gathering promises to be a night filled with holiday cheer and a whole lot of fun.
As you step into BarCodes, prepare for a full transformation. The bar will be decked out in Christmas decorations, making it feel like winter wonderland—minus the chill, of course! Santa Nelson will be making a special appearance, bringing along a bit of that holiday magic. And let’s not forget the entertainment: OSEF will be spinning tunes to keep the party alive, while Tony Vega takes the mic to keep things lively. Oh, and be on the lookout for Jaxx Cody, who will be donning the guise of a “naughty elf”—just the kind of mischief we love to see!
Activities and Prizes Galore
What would a Christmas bash be without some good old-fashioned raffles and door prizes? Every drink you purchase gives you a raffle ticket for a chance to win some fabulous prizes. We’re talking about two tickets to Epic Universe and a Delta Air Lines gift card, among other surprises. It’s a win-win situation—grab a drink, have fun, and you might just walk away with something special!
Now, let’s talk about attire. This event encourages you to bring out your best Christmas outfits—ugly Christmas sweaters, Santa hats, or even festive underwear if you’re feeling bold! Just remember, this party is for those aged 21 and over, and entry is absolutely free. Plus, parking is a breeze—no need to stress about where to put your sleigh!
Christmas Spirit in Orlando
If you think this is the only Christmas celebration happening in Orlando, think again! The city is alive with holiday spirit year-round. With around 150 Christmas events in and around the theme parks, there’s no shortage of festive fun. Walt Disney World Resort lights up with over 8 million lights and more than 1,000 decorated Christmas trees come November and December. SeaWorld adds winter shows and fireworks to the mix, while Universal Orlando Resort hosts the “Macy’s Holiday Parade” and the delightful Grinchmas event.
Even LEGOLAND Florida gets in on the action with “The Jolliest Event of the Year,” featuring a gigantic Christmas tree made of 270,000 LEGO bricks! And if you’re looking for something a bit different, check out The Festival of Trees at the Orlando Museum of Art from November 16-24, or the Gaylord Palms’ ICE!® exhibition from November 15 to January 4. You can even snag some deals during Black Friday shopping on November 23, with places like the Mall at Millenia and The Florida Mall offering significant discounts.
