Branson area businesses hope to extend the season and capture more travelers but businesses have to be willing to be open.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lights of Joy Christmas Drive-Thru announces ALL new displays
BRANSON, MO- One of Branson’s most popular Christmas attractions, Lights of Joy Christmas Drive-Thru, announced today that they will have an all new Christmas drive-thru in 2022. “Every major display will be replaced with several new themed sections,” says Kurt Kysar, manager of Lights of Joy Christmas Drive-Thru. “Having extensive new displays is unheard of in this industry, especially in back to back years.”
“We know how important Christmas is to the community. Memories are made here. Whether it’s a family, motor coach group or a group of friends, this is an annual tradition for thousands. We will have a variety of displays and new themes such as Space Christmas, Steampunk Christmas, and Season of Joy. We will have some returning favorites like the 12 Days of Christmas, but they will still be new and different from the past.”
Work began this week on putting up the new displays. It takes a large crew and extensive coordination to put the Christmas light drive-thru on. Some of the displays are over 20 feet tall. “When you are in your car you don’t always realize how huge these displays can be.”
