I’ve been all over the US and I’ve experienced some pretty brilliant shows and dinner theatres. Christmas in the Dells is very much worth your time if you like variety shows and a tasty family-style meal. My family went to the show last week, and we all enjoyed it very much.

The evening began an hour before showtime with a family-style meal of vegetable cream soup, rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey, ham, cheesy mac, green beans, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie or a brownie for dessert. The portions are unlimited and the taste is phenomenal.

I was most impressed with the vegetable cream soup and the cheesy mac, of which we ordered a second serving. The desserts are decently sized. I didn’t even finish my brownie. I was too full.

Traditional non-alcoholic beverages come with the meal, but if you prefer an adult beverage, they have wine and several signature drinks. Be prepared to pay a hefty price. I ordered a bottle of wine to share with my family, as it was the most cost-effective option. Even the non-alcoholic signature drinks are over ten dollars.

As the show began, the servers made themselves scarce to not be in the way. For the couple who came in right at show-time, a little distracting, but they still received their meal, despite their tardiness. I honestly didn’t notice their server dashing around in front of me, as the show was quite engaging.

I ran into one snaffoo, which had to do with booking my tickets. I booked online and for whatever reason, did not receive the table I clicked on. I called the box office; they told me that despite my table looking like it’s available on the site; it was booked under my name. I repeated the table number to clarify we were on the same page, to which the woman I was speaking to stated “b” as in boy and the number. When we got to the show, we were at “d” as in dog. They offered us a different table, but the server had already begun serving us, so we stayed where we were. Honestly, the seats are all pretty decent, but if you want a specific spot, maybe call and book directly through the theatre and not online.

Seating issues aside, they impressed me with everything else. You will experience some exceptional music and vocals, comedy, aerial acrobatics, live nativity, and much more. I still cannot get over how great the singers are. Their voices are on point, and the band is quite talented. Beyond the music, my favorite part of the show was the nativity. It sent chills down my spine. Incredible to experience.

Another highlight of our evening was taking a photo with Santa. When you buy the photo, you also receive the digital file. I promptly ordered a framed version from Keepsake Frames, which was delivered yesterday. A great memento from a fun and memorable evening.
