Lights of Joy Christmas Drive-Thru

2026 Description

One of Branson’s most popular Christmas attractions, the Lights of Joy Christmas Drive-Thru, announced today that they will once again have an all-new Christmas drive-thru in 2025. “Every major display, except our tunnel and video boards will be replaced,” says Kurt Kysar, manager of Lights of Joy Christmas Drive-Thru. “Having extensive new displays is unheard of in this industry and this is our fifth year to do this.”

There are several new themed areas locals and visitors will be able to experience including: Candy Canes and Poinsettias, Christmas in NY, Christmas Gardens, Season of Joy, North Pole, Safari Christmas, 12 Days of Christmas, Penguin Holiday, and Dragon Kingdom. Lights of Joy Christmas Drive-Thru will also have numerous nights with Santa. Santa will be at the Lights of Joy most Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the season for pictures and for children to share their Christmas wishes. Some additional nights will be available around Thanksgiving and before Christmas.

Kysar takes pride in the drive-through each year. “We know how important Ozark Mountain Christmas is to the community. Memories are made here. Whether it’s a family, motor coach group or a group of friends this is an annual tradition for thousands. We have a variety of displays and themes. We will have some returning favorites, but they will still be new and different from the past.”

Voters in the Best of Branson awards have awarded the Lights of Joy Christmas Drive-Thru the best Christmas drive-thru the past four years and in the past Bobvilla.com included the Lights of Joy Christmas Light Drive-Thru in their top 11 Best Drive -Through Christmas Light Displays in America!
