I Went To Enchant, The Christmas-Themed Extravaganza Inside Nationals Park
The screech reverberated off the concrete walls of the Nationals Park concourse like a banshee trapped inside a Metro car. Mr. Claus himself had just come into view, back-lit by a giant crescent moon and surrounded by a snaking line of children shivering with either cold or uncontainable excitement.
But it wasn't a sugar-addled six-year-old shrieking the jolly old man's name. Reader, it was me.
This wasn't how it was supposed to go. I had planned to approach Enchant, the winter spectacular that has taken over D.C.'s ballpark for the next month, with my typical journalistic rigor, urbane cynicism and Jewish disregard for Christmas excess.

My body became a vessel for decades worth of pent-up holiday spirit. I was Christmas.

Along the way, they'll battle distraction by dozens of Instagram-worthy light installations, including a 100-foot-tall tree, giant snowflakes and an enormous diamond engagement ring. Up in the stadium's upper levels, twinkling lights dot the stands to create a "starry night" effect.
It's undeniably lovely, and romantic as heck. Justin Birch, Enchant's director of business development, tells me they average about 50 engagements per season at each location. There were three engagements on D.C.'s first night alone.
Still, it's hard to forget you're in a baseball stadium — a selling point for Nats fans like myself, but perhaps a distraction for those wishing for a fully immersive experience. At one particularly surreal moment, I watched carollers in cloaks and top hats perform in front of a shuttered hot dog stand.

He then expanded to Major League ballparks in Seattle, Washington, and St. Petersburg, Florida, which typically sit empty during the off-season. Enchant has a three-year contract at Nationals Park and will expand to four more cities next year.
"We want this to be a D.C. event, not an event in D.C.," Birch said. He noted that 96% of the 390 Enchant staff members are from the Washington region. Many of them also work in food services and security at Nationals games.
Enchant has also hired a number of local bands to perform every night, including Moonshine Society, The Experience band, Micah Robinson and 1Identity Band.

Once inside, the sirens of Christmas consumerism will immediately begin to call your name. There's a holiday market packed with local vendors, a 10,000 square-foot ice-skating path (skate rentals not included in the price of admission), and warm drinks to buy at every turn.
A resourceful visitor could construct a meal from the free chocolate coins handed out by friendly elves, but those looking for actual protein might have to cough up $12 for sustenance like the Enchant-themed half smoke from Ben's Chili Bowl. The unassuming half smoke has been doused in sour cream and sprinkled with green and red bell peppers, because hashtag Christmas.
I'm not going to lie to you — it's pretty tasty.

At one point I spotted a fellow adult woman posing for a picture with Mrs. Claus in the Christmas matron's "reading nook." I wandered over in time to catch Mrs. Claus offering to snap a photo of the woman, Ashley Sarris, with her companion Isaac Lutkoff.
"She's so sweet," Sarris said. "This is wonderful."
After about two hours my sugar high started wearing off and my mittened fingers began to resemble tiny icicles. I headed toward the exit, but not before snagging another chocolate coin from an elf. "Isn't this just Chanukah gelt?" I mumbled to myself as I pulled off the gold wrapper. My Enchant-induced innocence was clearly fading fast, so I turned around for one last look at the lights before the magic disappeared entirely.
The giant Christmas tree twinkled at me from center field. A happy couple strolled by with mugs of mulled wine. A weeping toddler begged her parents for a stuffed animal from the holiday market.
And with that, it was time to go.
