Branson at Christmas

    Do you love holiday lights? Plan a visit to Branson through December 31st and enjoy the cornucopia of holiday lights with your family.

    Silver Dollar City was voted one of the top five Holiday Events in the country by Good Morning America. Celebrate the true meaning of the season amidst the glow of more than 4 million dazzling lights at Silver Dollar City. See the musical five-story Special Effects Christmas Tree as it twinkles and dances in unison with the one million+ lights adorning the City's square. Be sure to catch the nightly Gifts of Christmas Holiday Light Parade, showcasing colorful floats emblazoned with more than one hundred thousand lights. Take time to eat a festive holiday meal or schedule lunch with Santa. 

    In addition to Silver Dollar City’s lights, enjoy the season during the Branson Area Festival of Lights as all of Branson is aglow for the holidays. The journey through a one-mile drive along a path illuminated with more than 175 displays will delight children and adults of all ages. 

    And lastly, the Trail of Lights at Shepherd of the Hills Homestead is another must-see. This drive-thru animation display twinkles with millions of holiday lights and winds its way through the historic 160-acre homestead. Hundreds of gorgeous lighted displays add another dimension to the tour of animated scenes. Your ticket also includes a trip to Inspiration Tower, where you can ride glass elevators up 230 feet for a Santa's-eye-view of the lights from above. 

    No visit to Branson would be complete without seeing a show or visiting an exhibit. The Miracle of Christmas show at the Sight and Sound Theatre is absolutely amazing featuring a live nativity and much more. The Titanic exhibit is one-of-a-kind and quite intriguing for young and old alike. Visit www.explorebranson.com/christmas/ to make the most of your holiday trip to Branson.
