Itinerary

Day 1 – Branson, MO – Dolly Parton’s Stampede Christmas Dinner Show

A day of travel brings you to Branson, MO.  On arrival, check into the Stone Castle Hotel & Conference Center for a four night stay.  This is a one-of-a-kind Branson hotel with a fun and unique twist. Stroll the indoor corridors like kings and queens of old surrounded by knights in shining armor.

Tonight, enjoy Dolly’s Stampede Christmas Dinner Show featuring a live nativity scene that is both dramatic and spectacular. The true meaning of Christmas comes alive right before your very eyes as three kings ride atop camels on their way to Bethlehem. The stunning beauty of angels will amaze you as the songs inspire audience members of all ages.

Nothing compares to the way the Stampede bring the spirit of the season to life. Our amazing tribute will warm your heart and touch your soul. Snow falls softly as the breathtaking scenes fill you with tidings of good cheer. The Stampede arena is magically transformed into a true fantasy land complete with twinkling lights, evergreens, poinsettias, old-fashioned holiday costumes and familiar holiday music. (D)

Day 2 – George Dyer – Grand Village Shops – Oak Ridge Boys

This morning enjoy the incredible voice of George Dyer as he sings your Christmas favorites.  You’ll hear Christmas favorites like “Walking in a Winter Wonderland,” “O Holy Night,” and “Ave Maria,” as well as a stunning arrangement of “Breath of Heaven/Mary, Did You Know.” In addition to holiday cheer, the Christmas show will give you a taste of Broadway to Bublé starring George Dyer, his regular season show.

Lunch is included today at Shorty Smalls.  Shorty’s story begins back in 1888, when his daddy was just an ornery mining town cook who made the worst pancakes ever. (But, when you’re really hungry, who gives a darn?)  When Shorty grew up and inherited the family business, he got rid of all that breakfast nonsense and started making the most delicious lunches and dinners anyone had ever tasted. Folks came from miles around for Shorty’s food, and they still do today!

Enjoy some free time this afternoon for shopping at The Grand Village in Branson. The Grand Villages contains 27 shops, one of the largest Christmas Stores in the mid-west, a bakery/tea room, and Mel’s Hard Luck Diner. Stores include Back in Time Toys, Grand Glitz, Dickens Gift Shoppe, Kringles, Peter Engler’s Designs, Corky’s footwear, Sunrise Leather Shop, Mulberry Mill, and more!

Dinner this evening is included at Fall Creek Steak & Catfish House. For over 20 years, the Fall Creek Steak & Catfish House has been a popular dining destination sitting right next to Fall Creek in Branson, Missouri. The Fall Creek Steak & Catfish House is a family friendly, roll tossing, good time! Come on into the Fall Creek Steak & Catfish House and you just might see Rudy, the resident guitar playing, singing roll tosser serenading someone as they enjoy a delicious meal of steak or catfish.

Tonight, you have reserved seats for the Oak Ridge Boys at the Mansion.  The Oak Ridge Boys return to Branson, bringing their huge catalog of hit country, pop, and gospel songs! With phenomenal harmonies and an amazing career that’s spanned several decades; they’ve more than earned the incredible love and respect they get from both fans and industry folks alike. (B,L,D)

Day 3 – Lunch at Pickin’ Porch Grill – Sight & Sound’s QUEEN ESTHER – Christmas at Silver Dollar City

This morning enjoy a leisurely morning at the hotel before an included lunch at Pickin Porch Grill.  Folksy, counter-serve joint at Branson Craft Mall with BBQ plates, burgers & sides, plus live music. Following lunch you will have time to shop at the many local Artisans booths.

This afternoon enjoy a behind scenes tour at the Sight & Sound Theatre prior to a performance of QUEEN ESTHER. Set in the opulent yet perilous Persian Empire, QUEEN ESTHER is a captivating tale of beauty and bravery. Esther’s ordinary life changed forever when she was taken through the palace doors, entering a new world of royalty and risk. With a crown on her head and a secret in her heart, can she find the courage to trust in God’s plan and believe that she was made for such a time as this?

Enjoy dinner & the Christmas Lights at Silver Dollar City this evening. This 1880s-style theme park treats you to an experience unlike any other. Nestled amidst the naturally beautiful Ozark Mountains, Silver Dollar City features six world-class festivals, a dozen delightful restaurants, 40 live shows daily and 60 unique shops. Celebrate the true meaning of this magical season amid the glow of over 6.5 million dazzling lights including the awe-inspiring Christmas in Midtown Light Spectacular, a nightly light parade featuring Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer and so much more.

This afternoon, Daniel O’Donnell performs at the Mansion Theatre. Without a doubt, Daniel O’Donnell is one of the most requested and attended entertainer to ever take to the Branson stage. From his humble Irish roots to his growing success in Europe (and eventually around the world), he grew to become one of the world’s most prominent Irish singers.

Tonight, celebrate this season of Christmas at The Shepherd’s North Pole Adventure.
