Catch the Holiday Spirit at Silver Dollar City’s “An Old Time Christmas”. Good Morning America named Silver Dollar City’s Holiday festival “one of the top 5 Holiday events in the country”.

Unbelievable Holiday lighting displays, exciting shows and musical entertainment, a daily Christmas parade, thrilling rides, and fantastic food all await you.
Silver Dollar City is lit up like never before with over 4 million dazzling lights 
throughout the park. “Christmas on Main Street”, is their biggest light show ever. You will be amazed by the musical 5-story Tall Christmas Tree as its one million lights twinkle and dance in unison with the music of the season.
The sounds of the season can be heard throughout the park with free shows such as The Living Nativity and Frosty! You can even see the jolly old elf himself at Kringles Krossing. Christmas on the Bayou, featuring Louisiana Music Hall of Fame Member Cedric Benoit and the entire Cajun Connection Band will add a little seasoning to the festivities. Silver Dollar City’s grandest production show ever, A Dickens’ Christmas Carol is an original musical adaptation of the classic novella by Charles Dickens. This story tells of the sour and stingy Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformation after the supernatural visits of Jacob Marley, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. This production features a live band, a talented cast, astounding special effects, stunning Victorian scenery and period costuming.
Ablaze with over 100,000 lights, the Gifts of Christmas Holiday Light Parade can be seen through the streets of the Park twice each evening.
