The $20 ride includes hot chocolate and a cookie, but one listed departure starts after the event’s stated closing time. The wider Country Christmas display has other formats and areas whose access is not confirmed by the wagon listing.

All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Wednesday, December 16, 2026. Event listing hours are 5:00–8:00 p.m.; rides are listed at 5:15, 6:00, 6:45, 7:30 and 8:15 p.m., based on availability. Arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled ride. The 8:15 ride is listed even though the event listing ends at 8:00 p.m.; confirm timing with the organizer.
The Country Christmas wagon ride is advertised as a way to view animated holiday scenes from a wagon. Its listing also presents a practical snag: the final departure is set for 8:15 p.m., although the event hours end at 8 p.m. That departure is listed as subject to availability, so check with the organizer before planning around it.
Country Christmas describes its display as more than one million lights across 40 wooded acres. The wagon-ride description promises animated figures and holiday scenes, but the wagon listing does not spell out the route or establish that the ride covers the whole display.
The broader Country Christmas description features a trail of more than a mile, including Bearville and a 200-foot tunnel with 30,000 computerized lights. It also describes Christmas Village, Village Park and The Streets of Bethlehem. Those are useful details about the larger destination, not confirmation that a wagon ticket includes entry to those areas.

The Dec. 16 schedule lists departures at 45-minute intervals, starting at 5:15 p.m. and ending at 8:15 p.m. The event listing gives hours of 5–8 p.m.; because the final ride falls after that stated end time and departures are based on availability, confirm it with Country Christmas.
Five departures are listed for Dec. 16, from 5:15 to 8:15 p.m. Rides are based on availability and begin at the scheduled time; arrive 15 minutes before your chosen departure. Since the event listing ends at 8 p.m., confirm that the last listed ride is operating.
