Christmas 2026

Christmas in Branson, from a Cabin on Table Rock Lake

Silver Dollar City's An Old Time Christmas runs November 7, 2026 through January 2, 2027, about a five-minute drive from the resort. We're open through December 31, so you can spend the season in a cabin or vacation home of your own.

An Old Time Christmas, five minutes away

Silver Dollar City lists more than 6.5 million lights for its 2026 Christmas festival, along with the Stars, Lights & Christmas Nights Parade and Broadway-style holiday shows. The park is on Indian Point Road, the same road that leads to the resort, so the drive back after the lights is short.

Park tickets aren't included with your stay. Buy them from Silver Dollar City, and check its calendar for festival hours and show times before you go.

Why stay in a cabin at Christmas

After a cold evening at the park, it helps to come back to more than a hotel room. Every place to stay here has its own kitchen or kitchenette and a deck, and the larger cabins and homes have fireplaces and room for the whole family to be together.

  • Rooftop Deck Houses: two bedrooms, two baths and heated floors. Sleeps 4.
  • Kim's House: four bedrooms, a stone fireplace, a game room and a fire pit out back. Sleeps up to 13.
  • Hotel California: five bedrooms, a stone fireplace and a game room. Sleeps up to 10.
  • Cedar Cabins: three bedrooms, a full kitchen and a fireplace under a vaulted ceiling. Sleeps up to 10.
  • A-Frame Cabins: a queen bedroom, a sleeping loft and a kitchenette. Sleeps up to 4.

Dates and booking

We're open through December 31, and you can stay the night of December 31 and check out January 1. The resort then closes for the season until March 1.

Book directly on our website with promo code Jingle26 and take 15% off any stay through January 1, 2027 (not valid for stays November 23–29, 2026). There's a two-night minimum stay, and no deposit when you book: we charge the full amount 7 days before you arrive, and you can cancel at no charge until then.

Planning around the holidays

Explore Branson, the official visitor bureau, lists Branson's holiday season as running November 1 through January 7, with Christmas music shows, drive-through light displays and seasonal attractions such as Christmas Under the Sea at Branson's Aquarium at the Boardwalk. Schedules change from year to year, so check each one's official site before you plan your days.

Guests share the community fire pit. Bring your own firewood; it isn't provided.

Come back to a warm fire

After an evening among the lights, settle in by a fireplace, around the fire pit or over a game with the family.
