Silver Dollar City Doubles the Christmas Magic with New ‘Stars, Lights & Christmas Nights Parade’

Millions of lights shine at America’s #1 Theme Park Nov 7-Jan 2

OZARK MOUNTAINS, Mo. (Oct. 29, 2026) — Millions of lights are ready to twinkle, Rudolph's ready to roll and Silver Dollar City is doubling the Christmas magic during An Old Time Christmas, Nov 7-Jan 2 This season, America's #1 Theme Park unwraps the Stars, Lights & Christmas Nights Parade™, an all-new holiday spectacular twice the length of the park’s former parade.

The show on the go transforms the streets of Silver Dollar City into a moving Christmas celebration. Rudolph & friends, including Yukon Cornelius and the Misfit Toys, join larger-than-life floats, sparkling lights and festive music in a parade that invites guests to become part of the magic.

Little ones can deliver their Christmas wishes to Santa's elves, while Mrs. Claus adds a sprinkle of holiday wonder along the route. From whimsical scenes to a moving Nativity finale, the new production brings together the joy, nostalgia and the true meaning of Christmas.

But the Christmas magic stretches far beyond the parade route.

An Old Time Christmas, an 8-time winner of USA TODAY's Best Theme Park Holiday Event, transforms the 1880s theme park into a glowing wonderland with more than 6.5 million lights illuminating nearly every board and beam.

Standing tall over The Plaza, the park's magnificent 54-foot live Grand Fir returns as a centerpiece of the season, with three nightly, carol-filled lighting ceremonies. Joy On Town Square dazzles as the 8-story Christmas tree comes alive with lights and music every 15 minutes. Just steps away, Christmas in Midtown® glows with 1.5 million lights stretching an incredible 145 miles, the park's most concentrated display of lights.

Sounds of the season fill the hills with holiday entertainment around every corner. A Dickens’ Christmas Carol brings the timeless tale to life with Broadway-style flair, while Heart of Christmas features a rotating cast of performers like Lindley Creek, Jeff & Sheri Easter, Triumphant Quartet, The Isaacs and the Queen of Bluegrass, Rhonda Vincent. High-kicking hilarity returns with Frontier Fa-La-La Follies at the Silver Dollar Saloon, while Tinker Junior’s Toy Shop delights little ones with a 12-foot talking tree. The Living Nativity offers a peaceful reminder of the reason for the season.

Beloved traditions continue aboard the Frisco Sing-Along Steam Train and treasured photo opportunities at Santa's Cottage presented by Arvest. Enjoy countless Christmassy treats and festive flavors all across the park with the fan-favorite tasting ticket. Lunch with Santa also returns on select dates.
