Tips & Advice
- Go on a Sunday through Thursday night if you can, because the carload rate is lower than on Fridays and Saturdays.
- Check your vehicle before you come, because full-size school and coach buses can't fit the narrow, winding trail and the height limit is 12 feet.
- Leave time after the drive for Christmas Village and The Streets of Bethlehem at the end of the trail, since admission includes both buildings.
- Book wagon rides ahead because they depend on availability, and arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled ride so you don't miss it.
- If you'd rather see the lights on foot or by bike, plan on the November Walking Nights or Bikes and Lights, which come before drive-through season opens.
Special Events & Promotions
- This season is Country Christmas's 30th anniversary.

- Wagon rides on select nights from late November to mid-December come with hot chocolate and a cookie, on a separate per-person ticket.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included with drive-through admission?
You drive the Country Christmas Trail, then visit two buildings at the end of it: Christmas Village and The Streets of Bethlehem.
Can we come in a bus or large vehicle?
Full-size school buses and coach buses can't go through because the trail is narrow and winding. Vehicles must have a wheelbase of 22 feet or less and be no taller than 12 feet. Large passenger vans, limos, minibuses and senior home minibuses each have their own rate.
Can I walk or bike the trail instead of driving?
Yes, on special nights before the drive-through season. Walking Nights run on select dates in mid-to-late November, and Bikes and Lights runs November 23 and 24. Both are priced per person.
Are there wagon rides?
Yes. Wagon rides run on select nights from November 29 through December 17 and include hot chocolate and a cookie. Rides depend on availability, and you should arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled ride.
Do any nights support a charity?
Yes. Part of every Walking Nights admission goes to the Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County.
