Efteling has revealed its special New Year’s Eve celebration program, set to include spectacular entertainment across the park and dazzling fireworks. On December 31, visitors can immerse themselves in winter magic from 7 PM to 1 AM. Attractions take on a thrilling atmosphere in the dark, and the newly opened Huyverwoud with its latest attraction, Danse Macabre, adds an extra eerie twist. Guests can also enjoy the new Aquanura show under the night sky and see the fairy-lit park from the Pagode. A collective countdown moment will lead up to a grand midnight fireworks show, displayed simultaneously at two locations within Efteling: the Vonderplas and Siervijver.

A Fantastical Night of Unique Entertainment
With Pardoes the Magic Jester as the night’s host, Efteling’s New Year’s Eve promises an unforgettable journey into 2025. He’ll lead guests to encounters with beloved Efteling characters, live music, and enchanting performances. At Max & Moritzplein, Baker Krümel, Frau Schmetterling, and the Anderberger Musikverein will create a lively musical atmosphere. In the spooky Huyverwoud, guests will find monks adding an air of mystery around Danse Macabre. A silent disco by Piraña will have everyone dancing to a mix of tunes through wireless headphones.
There’s more to discover! At the kiosk near Het Witte Paard, visitors will find a special musical surprise, while the roof of Station de Oost in Ruigrijk will host an acrobatic performance. In Carrousel Theater, guests can win prizes during Grandmother’s Bingo. Don’t miss Pardijn’s Meedein Festijn at the Warme Winter Weide for a festive singalong with Efteling characters.
Sparkling Fireworks Show at Two Locations
As midnight approaches, join Pardoes and the crowd around Siervijver and Vonderplas for a joyous countdown. At the stroke of midnight, an identical firework show will light up both locations, synchronized to a medley of iconic Efteling tunes and accompanied by lasers.
New Aquanura Show
The Aquanura show returns with a fresh soundtrack and stunning new light effects. Four “Beacons of Light,” each standing 8 meters tall, surround the pond to bring this musical journey to life through thematic lighting and transformative visuals. The frogs at Aquanura have also been given a fitting makeover to enhance the magic. Check the Efteling app for the latest showtimes of this updated spectacle.
