An Old Time Christmas at Silver Dollar City

An Old Time Christmas Features a New  Production Show, Brilliant Holiday Experience

Bright lights line streets, buildings, pathways and trees during Silver Dollar City’s An Old Time Christmas, running Nov. 5 through Dec. 30. The 2022 season marks the debut of a new production show, Coming Home for Christmas, along with more than 6.5 million lights, an elaborate eight-story, animated Christmas tree, a light parade, holiday foods and more. Silver Dollar City shines brilliantly with so much entertainment that the park is the five-time reigning champion for Best Theme Park Holiday Event in America.*  

Throughout the streets of The City, carolers sing and stroll, while the centerpiece of Joy on Town Square, an eight-story Christmas tree, and surrounding lights glow spectacularly. Even brighter is Christmas in Midtown, with its remarkable display of light tunnels, wreath portals, flying angels and special effects nine stories tall. For thrill seekers, rides soar under the Ozark Mountain starlight, with all the Christmas lights visible below.  Craftsmen, in the Christmas spirit, create one-of-a-kind heirlooms, demonstrating glass blowing, wood carving, pottery and more. 

The City’s stages offer more than 30 shows each day and night. Along with the longtime favorite production, A Dickens’ Christmas Carol, the new show, Coming Home for Christmas, features a live band and a cast of 14 singers and dancers presenting holiday music, stories and family traditions.  Other productions include The Living Nativity and the Saloon Frontier Fa-La-La Follies.

Rudolph’s Holly Jolly Christmas Light Parade winds through The City each evening with lighted floats, characters, dancers and performers.

Guests aboard the Frisco Sing-Along Steam Train enjoy a Christmas story.

To add to the festivities, menus offer a variety of seasonal treats, including holiday dinner with smoked turkey, ham, prime rib and trimmings; specialty soups like potato leek; and Silver Dollar City’s Miner’s Beef Stew. Plus, savor a variety of sweets such as hot chocolate and wassail, s’mores or warm apple pie with homemade cinnamon ice cream.  Tasting Passports let guests sample their way through The City. 

The two-month-long holiday event boasts some impressive statistics: 680 miles of lights, 1,000 decorated Christmas trees, 600 wreaths and more than three miles of garland and ribbon.
