If you are looking for a dinner that provides live entertainment, horses and trick riders, music, a comedian PLUS a four-course family feast, then Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner Attraction is just the place for you!

Christmas is about tradition, and every year the folks at Dolly Parton’s Stampede want to create a memorable Christmas. If you are looking for a gift to give, this is a great idea! It’s something you can do with your whole family.

While visiting Branson, MO for the #BloggingBranson trip, we had the pleasure of enjoying Christmas at Dolly Parton’s Stampede. Horses in a 35,000 foot arena with a meal all themed around Christmas had me so curious as to what I was going to see.

I was invited by Stone Castle Hotel and Conference Center as part of a media FAM to explore Branson, Missouri. All opinions are 100% my own.

I was not disappointed! There is a live nativity, falling snow, holiday music, dancing toys, camels, Santa Clause and elves and games! We had a competition with the other half of the arena to see who would win, the North Pole, or the South Pole. This show is great for people of ANY age.

Dolly Parton’s Stampede Horse Walk and Carriage Room

Prior to the show you can stroll through the open air stable as you walk to the entrance of the two-level Carriage Room. There are 32 beautiful horses in the show from Quarter Horses and Palominos to Appaloosa and Paint breeds. I had the chance to visit a few of them prior to the show!

Enjoy soda or non-alcoholic speciality drinks and hilarious live performances in the Carriage Room before the main show begins. We enjoyed a reception from the staff at Dolly Parton’s Stampede Show along with some free gifts and enjoyed the performances that took place on a stage in the Carriage Room. There are no bad seats in this area and it was a fun pre-show to enjoy before going into the large 35,000 square foot arena.

Enjoy The World Class Production

When I entered Dolly’s arena, I was very surprised by the appearance, and the smell. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what it would be like and I expected to smell hay and barn animals. It wasn’t that way at all. There is a mist in the air to help keep the dust down and the arena had a beautiful glow to it.

We found our seats and the show kicked off with stunning horses and trick riders making their way around the arena. There was an emcee of the show who shared with us the dramatic portrayal of the birth of Christ. There were angels, and Kings on camels.

I was also blown away by the aerial show and the interactive lighting show on their 12.5 milllion LED wall, and fire! This show does not disappoint! There’s something going on everywhere within the arena, and even some audience members get involved! You can also compete in a fun North vs. South competition for bragging rights at the end of the night.

Don’t forget about the hilarious and pesky SKEETER who tries to steal the spotlight of the show! I had the pleasure of meeting him at the end of the show!
