Missouri transforms into a magical wonderland during the holiday season. One town (or city, to be more precise) just might top them all as the twinkliest town in Missouri. Branson often finds itself on the list of best Christmas towns, and it’s no different this year, with Country Living ranking Branson at number 35 on the list of top 55 Christmas towns in the United States.
Create magical Christmastime memories in Branson, the twinkliest and maybe even the busiest Missouri town during the holidays. You’ll find, in fact, a full menu of events and activities to check out.
Stay warm and cozy in your car all season long by heading to one of the area’s light shows, including The Shepherd of Hills Trail of Lights and Branson’s Lights of Joy.
The Promised Land Zoo also transforms into a twinkling wonderland with its two-mile drive-thru Let There Be Lights display. You can even go on a safari to see some of the animals.
If you’re up for some outdoor fun, you’ll definitely want to plan a visit to Silver Dollar City for its Old Time Christmas Festival. The popular destination shimmers in 6.5-million lights, and...
A hearty helping of Christmas magic. Stroll through Christmas at Midtown; indulge in delicious food, and ride some of your favorite rides – the Time Traveler or the Royal Tea Party, maybe?
Join Santa on a magical ride on The Polar Express, with Branson Scenic Railway, an event that’s so popular that tickets sell out quickly. Wear your favorite jammies for the train ride that includes storytelling, Santa, and hot chocolate.
The twinkliest town also makes it easy to get your Christmas shopping started or finished. Celebrate Festive Fridays downtown, where you can go shopping, join carolers in song, and enjoy discounts at some shops.
If you’re on the hunt for Christmas decorations, make your way to Kringles Christmas Shops. The magical year-round shops feature tons of Christmas decorations, and you might find some pretty awesome gifts, too.
