Enjoy the best that the holiday season has to offer at Sam’s Christmas Village! The enchanting Yuletide attraction features a European-style Christmas market AND a dazzling light tour, which, by the way, is nothing short of spectacular. You'll want to add it to your list of holiday festivities to make the most of Christmas in Wisconsin. Here's what to expect at this Wisconsin Christmas village:
A trip to the North Pole may be out of the question, but you can experience the same level of Yuletide magic at Sam’s Christmas Village & Light Tour in Somerset, located on over 40 acres.
It first opened in 2019 and is among the state’s newer holiday attractions.
It’s also among the most enchanting Christmas village in Wisconsin!
Visitors have plenty of options for festive fun. In addition to shopping at a European-style Christmas market, attendees can grab some festive food and holiday drinks at the on-site bar and grill.
A dazzling light tour is probably the village’s best feature, though.
Bigger, better, and brighter than the previous years' light tours, this year’s includes more than 10 million lights!
From twinkling castles to...
...giant, glowing ornaments, the light tour is brimming with seasonal splendor.
You can purchase a one-of-kind glass masterpieces by a talented glass-blowing artist, one of the participating vendors at the market.
A 50-foot animated Christmas tree and 500-foot light tunnel are also part of the merry display.
The light tour can be traversed by foot or car, depending on which night you visit.
For a real treat, consider renting one of the village's S'more Cabins. There are 38 of these cozy cabins available.
Living up to their sweet name, each cabin includes a s’mores kit for up to eight people, a campfire starter kit, and a visit from Santa.
Sam’s Christmas Village, one of the state's most magical Yuletide events, belongs on everyone’s holiday bucket list!
