New Ozark Mountain Christmas Lights & Village to debut Nov. 5.

A new drive-through Christmas light display and attraction will debut in Branson this holiday season.

In addition to a "magical mile" drive-through display, the Ozark Mountain Christmas Lights & Village will also feature rides on the North Pole Express train, selfies with Santa, laughs with the Crackling Christmas Chickens, gourmet hot chocolate, photos with the Clydesdale horses, and a life-size nativity experience.

Ozark Mountain Christmas Lights & Village — located at 555 Buena Vista Road — is open Nov. 5 through Dec. 27. The drive-through display will be open 5:30 to 11 p.m. and the Christmas Village and attractions will be open Thursday through Sunday from 5:30 to 9 p.m.

A one-night pass will cost $18 per vehicle. Season passes allowing unlimited visits cost $25 per vehicle.

The display is designed by North Pole Productions, the same creative minds behind the former Festival of Lights off Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, which ended a near 25-year run last season.

I saw this the other day, looking forward to checking it out..

Ther is also a mention of a horse drawn carriage ride and a "train"..  No tracks in that location so that will be "different"..

Also mentions is the Christmas village in a 6,000 sq foot tent....

Here are some more details from a report on KY3:

The change is due to the Branson Chamber of Commerce deciding last year they no longer wished to sponsor/handle the event.
