What begins as a simple retelling of A Christmas Carol quickly snowballs into a laugh-out-loud sprint through every Christmas story ever written — from Rudolph and Frosty to global traditions and holiday chaos you never saw coming. Three actors, dozens of characters, and an avalanche of festive fun make this the ultimate holiday mash-up.

Audiences have called it “the most fun you’ll have this season” and “a fast, funny, and surprisingly heartwarming holiday gift.”

Packed with humor, heart, and more holiday spirit than a mug of spiced cider, this show is a joyous reminder that Christmas isn’t just one story — it’s every story we share, laugh over, and cherish together.

Shows at 2:30pm and 7:30pm.

$22-$25. Tickets can be purchased here.

During this two-hour tour you will get to see a different side of the Museum, one that most guests will never experience. For decades, paranormal investigators and Museum staff have experienced paranormal activity at the Museum such as floating orbs, shadow figures, voices, apparitions, and overwhelming emotions. On this tour, our expert Museum guides will lead you through both historic buildings, including their otherwise off-limits basement, to hear about the Museum’s history and investigate its paranormal activity for yourself with investigative tools such as EMF readers.

Your experience includes:

• 2 hour guided paranormal investigation of both Museum buildings, including the basement of the historic Kellum Rotan Building

• Paranormal investigation tools and flashlights provided

• Glass bottle of Dr Pepper

• Shop exclusive Paranormal Merch Pop-Up!
