Description
See Branson’s magical, electrical, celebration of the holidays like a VIP from one of our luxury coaches. Our lights tour is limited to 14 passengers, so you’ll get an upscale, personal, experience from our guide. Your itinerary includes riding through two of Branson’s most eye-popping lighting displays. We kick things off by driving to see the beautiful Chateau on the Lake, to see their awesome display of Gingerbread Houses, and their beautiful atrium lobby...with a stream that actually has fish in it! Wow! When time allows, we will include other local lights, such as the Historic Downing Street in Hollister, MO. After the first Sunday in December we will also be able to see the Historic Nativity scene on Mount Branson. Tour length depends on traffic in the drive thru displays. Typically this tour lasts approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Itinerary
Branson
Enjoy the site of some of the richest history that Branson has to offer while being Dazzled by the Christmas lights display at the Shepherd of the Hill's Trail of Lights while comfortably touring through the Ozark Mountains in one of our VIP luxury vehicles.
Now known as the "Lights of Joy" display, you will enjoy Christmas lights as they should be; bright, bold, and fun. Laugh and smile with friends and family as you are reminded of the joy of Christmas. This is Branson's most popular drive-thru lights display.
Big Cedar Lodge
NEW in 2023! You will absolutely find displays that you love in this mile long display. There is such a variety of display styles, and "the trail" winds around and up and down the hills of the property, revealing more and more displays at every turn. The lights at Big Cedar Resort are simply spectacular!
Hollister
The lighted lamp posts and simple displays of this Old English Village are quaint and cute. The buildings on Downing Street are the same. You will also learn a little history about this unique little town.

Great guide
The guide and receptionist were great. The light show at Big Cedar was impressive but the other stops were not. Again if it wasn’t for the guide this would have been a one or two star
Operator response
Thank you for touring with us and for the review. It sound like WE did good, as far as the human aspect of the tour is concerned. Our meet and greet staff and our drivers and tour guides as well as our luxury vehicles is really all we can be personally responsible for. The lights at Big Cedar Lodge are wonderful. The light displays at "Lights of Joy" are really the highest quality and quantity of all the drive thru displays in Branson, but obviously they are not everyone's favorite. The visit to Chateau on the Lake is a bonus that almost everyone that tours with us really enjoy.

Branson Christmas lights
Michael was great, and the lights were incredible. It was thoroughly enjoyable. I understand why this is one of the top destinations in the nation for Christmas lights.
Operator response
Thank you for the 5 Star review! I love that you mention that Branson is one of the top destinations in the nation for Christmas lights. I'm always amazed at how one person thinks the light displays are awesome and they love them, and others seeing the very same displays, don't particularly care for them. Same displays, different people. I'll never figure it out. But thank you again for the great review!
Great tour of Christmas lights.
Michael did an excellent job driving and narrating our trip. He took us to several areas in and around Branson. Many beautiful light displays!! We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

The ride and our driver was awesome went to the chatuex and 1 drive tru lighting I thought there was 2 but other then that driver was very friendly and very informative
Operator response
Diana, thank you for the 5 Star review. So glad you enjoyed the Chateau on the Lake. It's one of my favorite places. I don't know why you didn't go to/thru 2 different displays. We should have taken you thru Big Cedar Lodge's light displays as well as the "Lights of Joy" display. I will check on this to see if there was some reason beyond our control that we didn't tour both places that evening. Thank you again!
