The Kansas City Christmas Pickle
Likely originating from an old, German-American tradition, on Christmas day, many families begin with a frantic hunt. Where the children and adults alike race around the tree looking for a little, green, pickle-shaped ornament that’s hidden somewhere within its branches. The lucky person who finds the pickle gets to open the first present, and gloat about it until the next year. It starts the day off with a lot of laughs and a little friendly competition. Be the first to find the Christmas pickle, and win!
For those that don’t have the fortune of knowing about Dilly, the Famous KC Christmas Pickle, and his Annual Scavenger Hunts, let us introduce you.
Adapted from the German-American tradition, we’ve created a Christmas pickle character to display at our light parks. He’s not always lit up and he even moves around! We host an Annual Scavenger Hunt Contest in which guests try and catch a glimpse of the Christmas pickle. If they’re lucky enough to capture and image of him, then they can post it on our social sites with the hashtag #ChristmasPickleKC for a CHANCE TO WIN a FREE return ticket PLUS a ticket to our other park, Holiday Light and Magic near Legends Shopping Center! Find the Christmas Pickle and receive good fortune!
