The festive holiday spirit has descended upon New Orleans as Jingle JAM, the beloved holiday excursion by JAMNOLA, is set to kick off on Saturday, December 9, and continue spreading joy until January 1. The 5,400-square-foot cultural funhouse, located at 2832 Royal Street, has transformed into a winter wonderland adorned with larger-than-life Nutcrackers, Christmas trees, presents, and more.

Guests embarking on this joyous journey can inscribe their holiday wishes on the Spirit Tree wall and groove to a specially curated holiday playlist by Anjelika “Jelly” Joseph. As visitors explore the immersive 17 exhibits, they’ll uncover the cultural gems that make New Orleans truly unique.

Starting December 9 through December 24, every Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., JAMNOLA will play host to iconic holiday characters, including Papa Noel, The Grinch, Chocolate Santa, Krampus, Buddy the Elf and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Guests are encouraged to share these giftable tickets with friends, family, co-workers, and even strangers, making it the perfect holiday gesture.
