Silver Dollar City — An Old Time Christmas

Silver Dollar City's An Old Time Christmas is widely regarded as one of the best holiday events in America. From early November through December 30, the park transforms into a breathtaking winter wonderland with over 6.5 million lights decorating every corner. The lineup includes multiple holiday-specific live shows, Rudolph's Holly Jolly Christmas light parade, a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, and all the park's rides and craftsmen operating in a festive setting. Expect seasonal foods including hand-dipped chocolates, warm apple cider, and holiday treats. The canopy of lights along the park's main street is worth the trip alone — it's one of the most photographed Christmas displays in the country.
