Sharon Owens as, “Barbara Streisand,” in “Legends In Concert;” Ambrus Presley and Chuck Crain singing “Mary Did You Know”  in “Presleys’ Country Jubilee Christmas show;” Jason Hughes and family performing in the “Hughes Brothers Christmas Show,” and Santa and the dancers from “Christmas Wonderland.”

Visitors to Branson during December, particularly first time visitors,  are sometimes disappointed to find out that a show they wanted to see has closed for the season. The good news is, that although some popular Branson shows will conclude their 2017 season on or prior to December 16, many including Legends in Concert, Christmas Wonderland, Clay Cooper’s Country Express, The Haygoods, Grand Jubilee, Amazing Pets, Dixies Stampede, and many more will be performing, albeit on a modified holiday schedule, through New Year’s Eve.

The gradual process starts the week of December 3. It’s always a good idea to check out the schedule of the show(s) you are interested to make sure they are schedule to be open when you are in Branson, but that’s particularly the case during the Christmas season. Here’s a list, sorted chronologically by week(s), starting on December 3 and ending on Dec. 31, of the last scheduled 2017 performance of some of Branson’s most popular shows, along with a link taking you to pictures, videos, ticketing and other information on the show:
