Mission: Save Christmas Featuring "Elf"

It's been said that the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. Well, Santa needs your help to spread Christmas cheer this year, and there will be much more than singing involved. Unless you're a cotton-headed ninny muggins, this sounds like a blast! According to Gaylord Opryland's website, this is what you can expect from this new immersive experience:

Christmas is in trouble and Santa needs your help! For the first time this Christmas, journey into Buddy the Elf's world to help save the holiday in our all-new, multisensory experience. Team-up with Mr. Narwhal and friends in the candy cane forest, stay ahead of the toy quota in the North Pole, prepare for Santa's arrival at the iconic department store, and take part in an epic virtual snowball fight in Central Park. These are just a few of the fun, interactive challenges you'll need to complete to muster enough Christmas cheer to power the Kringle 3000 and Santa's sleigh!
