“Watch as our elephant herd made their enrichment journey through the candy cane forest, past the sea of twirly-swirly gum drops, and then made their way through the Lincoln Tunnel,” Zoo staff posted on Facebook. “Our elephants would agree that there’s room on the nice list for everyone!”
Spider monkeys are also seen toward the end of the video, letting loose on a holiday-themed village in their enclosure.
