Christmastime is here again, or at least we’re getting really, really close. We all know what that means, embracing the magic of the season and making memories that will last a lifetime. Christmastime is also a picture-perfect opportunity to visit the enchanting town of Hermann, truly a Christmas town in Missouri in every sense of the word and possibly even one of the best Christmas towns in the U.S.
Pull out your calendar, because Hermann is the place to be to celebrate the holiday season throughout November and December.

The already-charming town transforms into a magical winter wonderland once November rolls around, promising a jam-packed menu of activities for the whole family.
Facebook/Hermann Area Chamber of Commerce November events include the Holiday Fare Wine Trail (November 19 and 20) and The Sounds of Starkenburg (November 26).
However, the Christmas season doesn’t officially kick off until Santa makes his first appearance, set for December 3, 2022. Santa will hand out treats during the holiday parade, and the tree lighting ceremony will also take place.

December also boasts a ton of activities - from Holiday House Tours on December 3 to the traditional 19th century German Christmas the first two weekends in December. This is a free open house that will feature German Christmas Springerle cookies, a shop with German pop-up cards, books and ornaments, and insight into the customs of German immigrants that are still celebrated in America today.

Stop by the Historic Rotunda, too, to admire the Christmas tables during the annual “Tablescapes.” The event will be held during the first two weekends of December.

If you need an adults-only evening out, join the Santa Rampage. Dress up as Santa as you join other revelers on an epic pub crawl on December 10.

You’ll probably also have a ton of shopping to do for the holidays, so make sure you schedule a stop at Christkindl Markt at Hermannhof. The European market is set for December 10.

For an old-fashioned Christmas experience, step aboard a horse-drawn carriage for a tour around Hermann. Carriage rides will be offered on December 10.

Best Christmas Towns In The U.S. November 03, 2022 AnneMarie What are the best hotels to stay in for Christmas in Missouri? What could be a better location to stay for Christmas than America’s Christmas Tree City, Branson? Both the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel and The Hilton Promenade, which are close to the Polar Express for a special holiday train ride from the Branson Scenic Railway, the Adoration Nativity Scene, a 28-foot-tall nativity that stands high above the Branson skyline, and the Branson Landing with a 63-foot state-of-the-art Christmas Tree. There are many unique places to stay in Missouri to consider as well, such as the Moonrise Hotel in St. Louis which has an interesting outer-space theme, rooftop bar, and rainbow stairway. Also check out the Stoney Creek Hotel in Columbia, which features a rustic lodge-type atmosphere with an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, whirlpool, and fireplace suites. What are the best drive-thru light shows in Missouri? The Let There Be Lights Drive-Thru Light Show in Branson is a two-mile lights display billing itself as the largest lights display in the Ozarks. Also in Branson, the Lights of Joy display is wonderful and offers hot chocolate and an opportunity for a photo with Santa at the end. Santa’s Magical Kingdom at Jellystone Park is a gorgeous lights display with millions of lights and Kringle’s General Store for some shopping after seeing the lights, where you can buy gifts, toys, apparel, holiday decor including handwritten personalized ornaments, as well as delicious snacks.
