A new immersive event arrived this holiday season. Jingle! has locations in Kansas City and St. Louis—and now there’s one in Ozark at the Ozark Mountain Sports Complex

So, what the heck is it? In short, it’s a winter wonderland. Paths wind through glittering trees, under lighted archways and around other festive décor throughout the whole complex.

Jingle! is organized into themed “neighborhoods” that all offer something a little different. At the Polar Park, you can fly down snow tubing hills on real snow or go ice skating along a winding path through twinkling lights. In the Jingle! Village, there are millions of holiday lights, including a light maze. The Aprés-Ski neighborhood is where you can sip warm drinks or warm your hands by a fire. And of course there’s The North Pole too with Santa and Mrs. Claus. 

While you’re there, you can shop and snack too. You can find grown-up drinks at the Tipsy Tree Lodge, plus lots of other snacks and sips. There’s even a sing-a-long piano bar. Plus, the Jingle! Village area features local vendors, artists and handmade products—perfect for holiday shopping.

Visit the website to purchase event tickets. Skating, snow tubing and preferred parking are all add-ons.
