Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for both the young and young at heart. Celebrate the true meaning of the holiday at Silver Dollar City. Stop by Kringle’s Krossing, located in the Carousel Barn and let the kids visit with the Jolly Old Elf and hand him their Christmas wish list. Each year Mrs. Claus decorates Santa’s Bronson home and welcomes guests to an open house. See Santa’s special weather station and his study where all he keeps all the plans for his Christmas Eve trip.
Before you leave Kringle’s Krossing, be sure to stop by Mrs. Claus’ kitchen and enjoy decorating and eating freshly baked cookies that are still warm from the oven. Kringle’s Krossing is one attraction you won’t want to miss.

This traditional story warms the heart and brings a sense of giving to all who sees it.
