SATURDAY SIX Christmas Present: How PANDORA – THE WORLD OF AVATAR Celebrates The Holidays

This week’s SATURDAY SIX takes a look at Christmas in Pandora – The World of Avatar! When Avatar: The Way of Water made its worldwide debut earlier this month, we released our very own DEFINITE GUIDE TO PANDORA – THE WORLD OF AVATAR. In that article we looked under every nook and cranny of Disney’s most elaborately themed land to give you a comprehensive look at the attractions, the food & drink component, the merchandise, and all the amazing hidden details, but there is one thing that we didn’t cover… the small seasonal overlay that Pandora gets during the Christmas season. All of these added details can be seen in the area around the walk-up quick service bar Pongu Pongu.

This is one Santa who isn’t going out the back door.” – Santa Clause, The Night The Reindeer Died (from the movie Scrooged)

Have to say, I would buy this Na’vi nutcracker if it was available to purchase inside Windtraders.

There are several creatures from Pandora that are represented in ornament form and are hung around Pongu Pongu.

Perhaps my favorite decoration in all of Pandora is this mini-diorama of sorts featuring Banshees pulling Santa’s sleigh. Just incredible.

So there you have it: Christmas in Pandora – The World of Avatar! See you next weekend for the latest installment of the SATURDAY SIX, where we’ll look at something fun from the world of Disney and Universal.
