From: The Country ChristmasCountry Christmas Trail
The Country Christmas Trail features over a million holiday lights festively displayed on over a mile-long trail. Back by popular demand, guests will enjoy displays such as Bearville, a captivating 200-foot tunnel of 30,000 computerized lights, and more. Some new displays to look for this year include Chocolate Kisses, New Bearville Buildings, and more.
Christmas Village
Christmas Village is a building at the end of the trail that guests can come inside and visit. Christmas Village is the perfect place to enjoy a hot cup of cocoa or an evening treat while surrounded by a cuddly cast of creatures and our working model train display. Guests can be entertained by our adorable Raccoon Band that dances and sings to Christmas music, view the Department 56 village collection and visit the Country Christmas Post Office where kids can write a letter to Santa. Don’t forget to stop by the new Bearville Furry Friend Factory to create your own stuffed animal—an experience sure to delight the little ones!
Village Park
Village Park, located at the end of the trail, is where guests can take an evening stroll and enjoy activities and photo opportunities. Don’t miss your chance to take a family photo in front of the 42 foot Christmas tree. There are additional displays including a walk-through light tunnel and multiple building fronts created by Kettle Moraine High School Art Students. New this year there is a 30’x45’ heated tent available to rent. Contact a member of our sales team for more information. There will also be arts and crafts activities in the tent from 6pm-8pm and story time readings at 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm.
The Streets of Bethlehem
The Streets of Bethlehem is a building located at the end of the drive-through trail. Guests can walk through the collection of nearly life –sized Fontanini nativity figurines. Country Christmas has the only display of this magnitude in the area, a replica of the Pope’s personal collection.
