Branson Christmas Special

Celebrate the Christmas season in the Ozark Mountain town of Branson. This unique town celebrates Christmas with an explosion of lights, music, and pageantry. We have personally selected Christmas shows that are the best of the best, and we want you to see them all!

Day 1 – Lambert’s Café – Branson, Missouri – Today, we head west through Indiana and Illinois into the “Show Me State” of Missouri. This evening, we have included a delicious dinner at Lambert’s Café, famous for their “throwed rolls.” We continue to Branson, where we spend the next four nights.

Day 2 – College of the Ozarks – Daniel O’Donnell – The Dutton Family Christmas Show – After an included breakfast, we meet our guide for a tour of the College of the Ozarks, making a stop at the Keeter Center. This afternoon, we will be entertained by Daniel O’Donnell. A household name in Britain and Ireland, Daniel sings a delightful blend of country and Irish music.
