If you want to truly feel the magic of the season, Branson Landing at Christmas is a absolute must-visit. The entire promenade is decked out in festive decor, but the real star of the show is the Town Square with its massive, 63-foot animated Christmas tree. Seeing it light up in sync with holiday music every 20 minutes is enough to put anyone in the Christmas spirit!
The Light and Water Show
The highlight of our night was definitely the Fountain Show. It’s located right in the center along the lakefront, and it’s spectacular. It isn't just water—it’s a choreographed performance of 120-foot geysers, fire cannons, and dancing lights set to music. During the holidays, they mix in seasonal favorites that make the fire and water feel even more dramatic. It’s world-class entertainment (the same designers as the Bellagio fountains!) and the best part is that it’s completely free.
Why we loved it:
• Atmosphere: The "Winter Wonderlanding" theme makes the whole shopping area feel like a movie set.
• Photo Ops: Between the giant tree, the lake views, and the holiday window displays, there are endless places for family photos.
• Convenience: You can grab dinner at one of the great lakefront restaurants (like Landry's or Guy Fieri's) and then just walk outside to catch the fountain show on the hour.
Whether you're shopping for gifts or just want to stroll with a hot cocoa and watch the lights, Branson Landing is the heart of Christmas in town. Don't miss it!
