Some folks are the stay at home holiday type. They like routine, they like their own Christmas décor, and they enjoy not having to go anywhere. Other folks, though, like to travel during the holiday season. They like to see new things, try new holiday food, and do their holiday shopping at new stores. If you are one of these holiday travelers, consider making Branson, Missouri, your holiday destination! Branson makes a great place to celebrate the season with holiday attractions, great Christmas shopping venues, and top notch lodging. Get ready for some cheer with Branson holidays!
Ho, Ho, Holiday Attractions: There is no shortage of fun things to see and do when you spend the holidays in Branson this year. One of the most popular Branson holidays activities is visiting Silver Dollar City for the Old Time Christmas Festival! Imagine the magic of Silver Dollar City lit up with over four million Christmas lights, just for you. You’ll enjoy rides like Outlaw Run and the Giant Barn Swing so much more when the whole park is lit up like a Christmas tree. Be sure to grab some hot chocolate and catch the Christmas parade on Main Street! If you just can’t get enough Christmas lights, head on over to Shepherd of the Hills to drive through the Trail of Lights, or take a trip to Kimberling City down the road to check out the Port of Lights. If you are more of an indoor holiday person, you’ll want to go to the Butterfly Palace on West 76 in Branson to experience White Flight – hundreds of brilliant white butterflies fluttering through the air like snowflakes, complete with a Poinsettia Christmas tree and holiday carols!
