What are some of the best Christmas light displays in Missouri?

This list of 11 Christmas lights displays in Missouri promises at least one magical experience. Here are a few highlights.

  • The Shepherd of the Hills Trail of Lights (Branson): For more than three decades, this two-and-a-half mile driving tour through Shepherd of the Hills has provided a festive beginning to the holiday season. Starting the first of November through the end of December, the multicolored lights and other displays cover about 160 acres. At the end of the festive journey, receive a cup of hot chocolate for a donation to Cocoa for a Cause, which goes to local charities.
  • Garden Glow (St. Louis): Don't miss this spectacular holiday showcase at Missouri Botanical Garden. Gilded in more than one million shimmering lights, this unforgettable experience leaves you warm inside. This is one of the brightest Christmas lights displays in Missouri taking you into an enchanted wonderland. Additions are available for this holiday tradition, such as the Dine and Glow event to add a dinner to the experience, and private fire pit rentals.
  • Celebration of Lights (O'Fallon): Every year since 1991, folks head on over to Fort Zumwalt Park for the holiday light feast. A one-mile path of twinkling lights features scenes that are designed and funded by the community of local organizations, churches, and businesses. If you'd rather not drive, view the pretty lights from a tractor-pulled hayride. Three magical nights are dedicated to walkers only on the Old-Fashioned Holiday Stroll. Take in the fireworks over Lake Whetsel, enjoy some delicious seasonal treats, and of course, have a visit with Santa.
