Come celebrate "Christmas in July" on Saturday, July 26th, 2025, with Nashville Recording Artist Faye Dudley and family, at the Amana Performing Arts Center (formerly The Old Creamery Theater) for a Branson style Christmas show!
This heartwarming show blends the timeless charm of traditional Christmas classics, country, and the excitement of modern holiday hits. All wrapped up with a dash of hilarious comedy that will leave you laughing and singing along. It's the perfect mix of joy, nostalgia, and festive fun — a show the whole family will treasure!
"Christmas in July", celebrated in many places around the world is a nostalgic relic originating in 1933 at Keystone Camp by co-founder Fannie Holt in Brevard, North Carolina. Her goal was to help the girls overcome home sickness by making crafts for secret santa, playing other games and making treats! It is celebrated every year on or around July 25th, the halfway point to the beloved December 25th holiday!
