Sam's Christmas Village is located just across the state line in Somerset, WI.

The Christmas Village is lit up with 16 million bright, beautiful lights and is now open. An extra 4 million lights have been added to the already massive display and organizers added a sledding hill last year, perfect for some snowy fun.

The popular attraction also features a massive Christmas Tree, several holiday displays, and a Christmas Market featuring various vendors and unique holiday gifts.

Snacks and beverages are available to purchase, and there is a bar and grill onsite with food and alcohol. Santa and his reindeer are a delightful part of the attraction.

Guests who reserve one of the popular S'mores cabins can schedule a private meeting with the big man. These cabins provide shelter from the elements, allowing you and your family a place to warm up, build a fire, and cook some s'mores.
