The Five Sisters Zoo have confirmed their incredible Christmas spectacular will be launching this weekend, with everything from a light trail to marshmallow toasting.
The family-run animal sanctuary will be keeping the park open after dark for a number of evenings in the coming weeks to celebrate the festivities.
Starting on Friday, November 11, the zoo will be starting off the illuminations with a special 'light switch on' event, that will begin at 5pm.
With live music from SAINT PHNX, the huge trail of lights spanning throughout the zoo will be lit up, including thousands of decorations.
Edinburgh Live reported that following the official switch on, the zoo will be hosting a number of activities throughout the run-up to Christmas, with the lights trail also including festive market stalls and a heated bar area.
Children will also be able to attend the 'Santa's Grotto Experience', where they can meet the man himself along with his elves and the zoo's own 'enchanted characters.'
As well as a number of children's rides, there will also be marshmallow toasting on offer for all of the family.
Speaking about the festivities, the zoo said: "We have six days until the opening evening of the Christmas Illuminations, we cannot wait to welcome the excellent SAINT PHNX along to perform and turn our lights on this year.
"The light switch on will take place on Friday 11th November, doors will open at 5pm and lights will be turned on at 6pm."
