A Magical Drive-Thru Holiday Experience at Circuit of The Americas
November 27 - January 3
Meet our Mascots! Join Pepper and Mint on their journey down COTA’s Tunnel Road. They are on a mission: to deliver letters to Santa for gifts under the tree! On their way they will meet dancing elves and strolling entertainers, as they are transported from Candy Cane Lane to an Enchanted Forest, and so much more.
WARNING: Our final tunnel has a light show that contains bright, flashing lights that may cause discomfort and/or seizures for those with photosensitive epilepsy
