The Ozarks Mountain Christmas Season gets underway today with activities including the annual lighting of the Community Christmas Tree.

The ceremony is this evening at 6:30 the Branson Ferris Wheel and will feature entertainment from Rick McEwen plus an appearance by Santa and Mrs. Claus. 

The ceremony, presented by the Branson Christmas Coalition and Ozark Mountain Legacy, will unveil the Branson Community Christmas Tree which is themed "Hope and Hospitality." According to a previous release from the coalition, the 39 foot display will feature more than 4,000 LED lights, giant pine cones, and new this year, 300-feet of giant popcorn and cranberry garland.

The event kicks off the Ozark Mountain Christmas season, which goes into early January of next year, with attractions and shows beginning to highlight Christmas along with many light displays throughout the Lakes Region.
