Folks who visit Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede during the Christmas season will be amazed by the unbelievable show transformation. Opening Wednesday, October 25th, Christmas at Dixie Stampede Dinner and Show becomes a beautiful holiday spectacular. From the festive show theme and the full-scale live Nativity scene including real camels, donkeys and sheep to the gorgeous decorations throughout and the warmth of traditional holiday music. Back by popular demand, Christmas At Dixie Stampede in Branson adds a touch of grace to the holidays with a special performance by professional Adagio ice skaters.
“We wanted to give families real joyful entertainment during the Christmas season,” says Dolly. “The ice skaters and live Nativity scene really bring the holiday season to life. I can’t wait for folks to experience this year’s Christmas show – it’s going to be great.”
Christmas at Dixie features a seasonal twist with a friendly rivalry between the North and South Poles full of equestrian feats, graceful riders, and audience participation games like wreath tossing and a “stick” reindeer race. The production is highlighted with ice skaters descending from the ceiling on a specially designed skating platform and then the duo glide under the “stars” to a brisk holiday soundtrack. Celebrating the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus is brought to life with Mary, Joseph, the wise men, and a living Nativity of live camels, donkeys, and sheep. In addition, Santa himself makes an appearance in his sleigh, as Dixie Stampede’s 1,100-seat arena is transformed into a winter wonderland of fresh fallen snow.
Christmas at Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede is complimented by a holiday feast of a whole rotisserie chicken, hickory smoked barbecue pork loin, herb-basted potatoes, buttery corn on the cob, creamy vegetable soup, homemade biscuit, and an apple turnover for dessert.
