After breakfast we will enjoy our scenic drive to Branson.  Along the way we will delight in the changing scenery and enjoy interesting stories and legends about Branson and the Ozarks.  After settling into our hotel, The Center Pointe Inn, we will enjoy a group dinner at Landry’s Seafood and Steakhouse.  After dinner we are honored to spend a holiday evening with The Haygoods.  These five brothers, along with their sister, will blend their voices for an incredible Christmas performance.  The Haygoods have been performing in Branson for over 20 years and their success has earned them ‘Branson’s Most Popular Show’ several years in a row.   (breakfast and dinner included)

Day 3 –  December 5th

This morning, enjoy The Doug Gabriel Christmas Show, Branson’s most popular morning show.  The show features Branson’s most awarded Male Vocalist, Doug Gabriel, along with his talented cast of singers and musicians covering many styles of music and of course, this time of the year you’ll hear their favorite Christmas numbers.

Our afternoon will be spent with the very successful Hughes Brothers.  Not only do the brothers have the reputation of astounding all ages with their rich harmonies, but their performance is brilliantly choreographed, showcasing the foot-steppin’ moves of the brothers.  When the Hughes Brothers arrived in Branson in 2000, they rented the Roy Clark Celebrity Theatre.  The show has been a huge success and now the brothers own the theatre and have renamed it the Hughes Brothers Theatre.  This Christmas production will make you feel right at home in the Ozarks.   The five brothers, along with their talented family members, always deliver a touching and memorable Christmas show. 

We will be treated to a southern cooked dinner at Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen.  As a chef, author, and television personality, Paula is known for her great southern cooking and butter, butter, butter.

This evening will be spent at the Baldknobber’s Christmas Show.  The Baldknobbers was one of the very first big productions in Branson and has been winning the hearts of audiences ever since with one of-a-kind mix of country, gospel, bluegrass, hilarious comedy and, at this time of the year, Christmas!  (breakfast and dinner included
