Christmas in the Dells Dinner Show: Wisconsin Dells Spectacular Holiday Theater & Feast | Theater | Events

Spend an evening in Wisconsin Dells at the Christmas in the Dells Dinner Show, a theatrical holiday production and feast staged in the heart of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. This two-and-a-half-hour outing combines an extravagant live production—snow that falls inside the theater; toy soldiers, sugar plum fairies, and dancing elves; soaring angels; a huge live band—with a four-course holiday meal and Midwest-sized spectacle. The production bills itself as the largest Christmas show in the Midwest and layers pyrotechnics, laser lighting and giant video screens into a program that closes with the area’s largest living nativity.

Midwest Bus Trips packages this event with deluxe motor coach transport from regional pickup locations such as Dubuque Wal‑Mart and Platteville Wal‑Mart, making it an easy, no-driving night out for families. Buses include high-back reclining seats, onboard restrooms, individual climate controls and outlets at each seat—amenities that matter once the box office lights dim. Plan two to three hours for the full experience and expect walking and stairs at the venue; the show is suitable for ages three and up.

Wisconsin Dells is better known for its sandstone gorge carved by glacial meltwaters along the Wisconsin River, and for boat tours that expose sculpted rhyolite and sandstone cliffs. That dramatic local landscape gives the town a year-round tourist infrastructure, but the Dells' holiday theater brings a different kind of spectacle: costuming, choreography and seasonal music that feel cinematic against the natural backdrop of the region.

What to expect: an enormous cast of singers, dancers and variety acts; family-friendly comedy; special effects; and a choir-backed nativity sequence. Your dinner includes oven-roasted turkey and honey-glazed ham with holiday sides—the four-course menu is part of the package. Tickets are sold with a non-refundable 50% deposit and final payment is due 30 days before departure; group seating is handled where possible.

This trip works for families, holiday groups, and anyone who prefers a guided, comfortable night out without the hassle of winter driving. It’s also a practical evening for visitors who want to pair a theatrical holiday experience with a daytime visit to nearby Mirror Lake State Park, the H. H. Bennett Studio, or one of the quieter river overlooks. Check-in is at the Dubuque Wal‑Mart and the coach departs promptly; arrive at least 15 minutes early to collect hard tickets or verify digital tickets. Snacks and small coolers are allowed on board if they fit in your seating area. Remember driver gratuity is not included. For families, the mix of spectacle and logistics makes this an efficient evening.
