Bellewaerde Christmas returns with new Dream Lights zone
As Bellewaerde Christmas returned, Dansende Ballonnen took on a seasonal role as Santa's Balloons within a park-wide winter event that introduced the new Dream Lights zone.
More context
Bellewaerde Park reopened its winter season at the end of November 2025, bringing back Bellewaerde Christmas. Looopings reported that the event added a new headline area called Dream Lights, a light-filled zone with flowers, butterflies and a striking peacock. Santa's Village, Aztec Alps and Magic Forest also returned, while Bubble Dreams disappeared from the line-up.
For Dansende Ballonnen, the attraction's relevance lies in its temporary Christmas identity. During the event the family ride appeared as Santa's Balloons, alongside other familiar children's attractions that received festive names for the season. That placed the small Zamperla balloon ride inside Bellewaerde's winter storyline rather than leaving it as a standard KidsPark attraction operating in the background.
For visitors, the seasonal name made the ride easier to read as part of Santa's Village and the wider Christmas atmosphere. For park fans, it shows how Bellewaerde uses existing family rides to create a fuller winter programme without rebuilding every attraction. In the history of Dansende Ballonnen, the news marks another example of the ride acting as a flexible family anchor during seasonal events.
