There is something incredibly magical about a Branson Christmas. If you are looking to enjoy Christmas lights, then look no further. Here are a few of our favorite places to see Christmas lights in Branson.
Branson becomes a Christmas wonderland during the 1st week of November.
Lights of Joy Christmas Drive-Thru
The Lights of Joy entrance is located at Shepherd of the Hills Expressway and Expressway Lane and is open to families, limousines, church & school buses, and motor coaches. A light drive-through stretches for one and a half miles and is lined on both sides with hundreds of displays.
Shepherd of the Hills / The Trail of Lights
Branson’s longest-running and favorite drive-thru are celebrating over 30 years! The 160-acre Shepherd of the Hills Homestead is filled with Christmas lights, themed and animated displays, and millions of multicolored lights. Enjoy a hot chocolate at our Snack Shack.

Silver Dollar City / An Old Time Christmas
Christmas in Midtown: As you stroll through the center of Silver Dollar City, between Valley Woodcarvers and the Wilderness Road Blacksmith Shop, you will be in awe of the single largest lighting expansion over the past two decades of An Old Time Christmas®. This incredible addition features 1.5 million twinkling lights.
A Dickens’ Christmas Carol: Silver Dollar City’s beloved Broadway production returns to the Opera House this holiday season with an all-new musical score! This 60-minute show tells a story of redemption, hope, and the transformational power of prayer through an original musical adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic.
Rudolph’s Holly Jolly Christmas Light Parade: This joyous musical procession includes nine illuminated floats and 45 costumed characters as the grand marshal, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. A Rudolph’s Holly Jolly Christmas Light Parade occurs at least twice a night during An Old Time Christmas, weather permitting.
Downtown Branson
Christmas lights and wreaths abound in Branson’s downtown area. There is nothing better than taking a romantic carriage ride through the streets to witness the lights or taking a stroll down the sidewalk to see the displays in the storefronts. Look for the tree on top of the P. Graham Dunn building.
Branson Landing’s spectacular light and water show at the fountain is also worth seeing. During the Landing’s open hours, shows are held every hour at the top of the hour.
Branson Ferris Wheel
An electrifying display of Christmas lights and music is every evening from 6 to 10 pm on Hwy 76 in Branson until January 2.
