The holidays come only once a year, and they’re the one time of year where everything needs to go right. A crummy holiday can sour the mood for the coming year, while a nice one makes us hopeful for the future. And when you put a holiday on top of it all, you can find yourself stressing over making things stress-free! However, if you have the chance to celebrate a Branson Christmas, you can rest easy knowing that there will be plenty of fun and relaxation.
Weather
For being in the mountains, Branson’s temperatures are quite agreeable. You won’t get the white Christmas you’re dreaming of, as forecasts for December 2017 don’t plan on dropping below freezing. On the other hand, this means you won’t have to dread going outside as some further north are already doing.
Silver Dollar City
If you’re looking to have some fun during your Branson MO Christmas, you have to visit Silver Dollar City! This 1880’s inspired theme park is one of the best amusement parks in the country, according to Fodor’s Travel. It features over 40 rides, plus live craftsmen demonstrating their talents. And this year, Silver Dollar City is going all-out with their Christmas celebration, including a five-story tree with light and sound special effects!
Christmas Lights
Silver Dollar City’s Christmas displays already involve over five million lights, but if you can’t get enough of the joy and wonder that Christmas displays invoke, Branson’s got you covered. Gift of Lights on Expressway Lane is a drive-through light show that celebrates both the fun and miraculous sides of Christmas. It includes displays showing milestones of Christ’s life, such as his birth, baptism, and resurrection. But it also features some lighthearted displays such as dinosaurs and butterflies.
Live Shows During Your Branson Christmas
Branson is renowned for its fabulous entertainment, from 1950s tributes to modern country. Acrobats of China, Hughes Brothers’ Christmas Show, Sanders’ Family Christmas, and other shows are playing around Branson this holiday season. So, whether you want dance, comedy, song, theatre, or some combinations of the four, you’re sure to find a great evening’s entertainment!

Christmas in Branson, Missouri may not be how you would normally consider spending your Christmas vacation, but we think it should be.

All Aboard!
Starting weekends in November, The Branson Scenic Railway becomes Santa’s Polar Express! Christmas Carolers sing as Santa moves throughout the cabins, passing out a special gift for children who believe. This magical expedition lasts an hour and 15 minutes – and the memories will last a lifetime.
The Adoration Celebration
Branson does Christmas in a big way…and the 28 foot high Nativity Scene located high atop Mount Branson has its lighting ceremony, followed by a parade through town, the first Sunday in December. Celebrate the true meaning of Christmas as we have year after year since 1949. It’s a moving experience.
