San Diego’s most dazzling holiday tradition is back on deck! The USS Midway Museum has announced the return of Jingle Jets, its beloved holiday lighting celebration, for a fourth year — and organizers promise it will be “brighter, bigger and more magical than ever.”
On select nights from November 27 through December 30, 2026 (5:30–9:00 p.m.), the historic aircraft carrier will glow with more than a million twinkling lights. Guests can wander the flight deck beneath the glow of the legendary Corsair, enjoy the Holiday Dancing Light Show, admire miniature holiday trains, and soak up festive entertainment throughout the ship.
New this year: an Any-Day Ticket option lets families pick any evening that suits their calendar. Members get their own special nights on December 13 and 20, and four-legged friends are welcome at the Jingle Mingle dog-friendly evening — complete with a Dog Bowl Giveaway. Tickets are available online only.
Grab your loved ones and set sail for a night of holiday wonder aboard one of America’s most treasured ships. Hooray for Jingle Jets!
