Branson's Christmas shows are popular - make sure you book your tickets in advance. You'll not only rest easy knowing that your tickets are ready, you'll also get the best available seating.

Same-day availability isn't always impossible during the Christmas season, but chances are you won't get the seats you want - and often, they'll be completely sold out!

The same goes for lodging during the holiday season; it's highly recommended that you book in advance to get the accommodations that best suit your needs.

Most of the shows listed here feature Christmas content from beginning to end, but some of these shows, and many other shows in Branson, will treat you to features of their regular season show, then add some Christmas music and maybe include special holiday sets. Still others will perform their regular show during the first half, then change it up to Christmas for the second half.

Don't forget to check out theater gift shops during the Christmas season. Many shows add special merchandise for the holiday - a great idea for excellent gift shopping!

Visiting a drive-through light display is the perfect way to wrap up the evening after seeing a Christmas show!

The perfect way to save money to see more Christmas shows is to enjoy a few things that are both family-friendly and FREE! Excellent picture opportunities include seeing the lights outside Branson theaters, shops, restaurants, and shopping centers. There's also no charge to see the Adoration Parade and annual lighting of the nativity atop Mt. Branson. Another fun way to enjoy the festive atmosphere of Branson's downtown is aboard the free trolley service - you'll find several stops where you can hop aboard Sparky!
