Milwaukee, WI — Sing in the holidays as Milwaukee’s Mitchell Park Domes presents “The Twelve Days of Christmas: A Playful Parody,” a whimsical celebration of the classic carol, reimagined with a botanical twist! From November 22, 2025, through January 4, 2026, visitors are invited to explore a joyful indoor wonderland where the beloved verses of “The 12 Days of Christmas” come to life through imaginative displays and lush floral artistry.

Guests will be enchanted as they wander through the Show Dome, where each “day” is brought to life in clever, humorous, and heartwarming ways. Hundreds of poinsettias in vibrant shades of red, pink and white fill the space with holiday warmth, while creative installations add a sense of playful parody to this cherished tune. Guests are encouraged to capture a festive photo in front of the show’s sparkling Holiday Tree, the perfect backdrop for seasonal memories.

“This year’s Holiday Show brings the magic of a timeless carol to life through plants, color, and creativity,” said Doris Maki, Horticultural Director at the Mitchell Park Domes. “Each display captures the fun and imagination of the season while surrounding guests with the warmth and wonder that make the holidays so special.”
