Winter's Tail is a Christmas event during December weekends and school holidays. Throughout the event the resort opens with Christmas decoration and a Christmas grotto 'village' next to Sea Lion Bay. Parts of the theme park are open, with 2019's event seeing Vampire return to head a similar lineup to 2018. The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure, Seastorm, The Chessington Adventure Tree, Tiny Truckers and Room on the Broom - A Magical Journey all opened alongside the zoo. A festive show named "The Gruffalo and Stickman Christmas Groove" is performed several times throughout the day as well as the chance to decorate cookies in The Gruffalo Kitchen.
