CHRISTMAS IN BRANSON 2023
November 14 - 17, 2023

Day 1:
Today we’ll travel to Branson and settle into the Hilton Convention Center at the Landing. Dinner is included tonight before we attend the The Hughes Brothers Christmas Show. The Hughes Brothers and family transport you to a Christmas wonderland filled with the season’s best vocal harmonies, exciting dances, inspiring instrumentals, and of course, the enchantment and lighthearted humor that everyone loves. Along with all the festive surprises, see Santa in a new light when he explains the symbols of Christmas in a very moving Christmas presentation. (D)

Day 2:
Following a delicious breakfast this morning, we’ll attend the The Doug Gabriel Christmas Show, a good, clean family show with a lot of variety. It has a talented cast, rib-tickling comedy and a terrific ensemble of musicians. Plus, Doug plays his World Famous Mufftar, a guitar made out of a 1969 Thunderbird muffler! Lunch is included and the afternoon is free to shop at The Landing or maybe to rest at the hotel. This evening, we attend SIX, a powerhouse “Vocal Band” featuring six real brothers who don’t use instruments, but you’ll think you’re hearing them. SIX infuses live choreography and fun family comedy that only brothers can do.  six voices—zero instruments—all music! (B, L, D)

Day 3:
Begin the day with a delicious buffet before we depart for Clay Cooper’s Country Music Express!  Clay and his fantastic cast of veteran entertainers are ready to give you one high-energy show filled with singing, dancing and hysterical comedy!  Lunch is included at the Branson Craft Mall, at the popular Pickin Porch Grill.

This afternoon, we attend the award-winning family show, The Petersens. The Petersens will knock your socks off with a top-notched bluegrass sound. Relax and enjoy the twin fiddle tunes, gospel a cappella, original songs, clean comedy and a heartwarming family experience!

After dinner tonight, we will experience QUEEN ESTHER at the Sight and Sound Theatre. Sight & Sound Theatre is renowned for its amazing and breathtaking Biblical shows, and the new 2023 showing of Queen Esther holds up that reputation! Queen Esther comes from the Old Testament and is a tale of transformation, faith, and wonderment that all ages will be able to enjoy and relate to. Be transported to a setting of the Persian Empire where Esther’s ordinary life is upturned once she faces trials she never would have imagined for herself, and trusts in God to bring her to her destiny and see her through the struggles.
