It does baffle me that Alton don't really bother to do anything for Christmas. They opened CCL a few years back so the event got bigger, yet last Christmas we just had CBeebies Land.
Personally I would open all of CBeebies Land, Mutiny Bay, CCL, Hex, and if possible Sonic. I would make it so hotel guests get it as part of their package including meeting santa. And then normal guests can book day tickets online either just for the theme park or for the theme park and santa. I would then let any Alton/Merlin annual pass holders get in for free, but if they wish to see santa they have to pre-book and pay a fee online. Then over time I would expand the event to other rides and areas.
The problem towers always has is the park is massive and its never great wondering around the park past closed attractions, but other parks abroad manage to open the majority of their rides during the winter, so if Alton had the budget i'm sure they could as well.
