RWS creates Christmas spectacle at Big Cedar Lodge

Big Cedar Lodge, nestled in the heart of the Ozarks, has partnered with RWS Global to transform the holiday season into an unforgettable Christmas experience for families and friends of all ages.

This holiday collaboration will bring the Spirit of Christmas to life in a spectacular way, combining the rustic charm of Big Cedar Lodge with the theatrical expertise of RWS Global. Guests can expect a blend of holiday traditions and modern entertainment, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Craig Laurie, Chief Creative Officer of RWS Global states that both experiences are unique and amazing in their own way, “When you enter the property, no matter what season, you are transported to a magical place, but this holiday we have created experiences you will never forget. At Top of the Rock, we take you on a story – a journey of history, culture, light and sound and when you get to Big Cedar, we celebrate the traditions that everyone loves, and it all comes with amazing instagrammable moments. It truly is a holiday experience that you cannot get anywhere else.” 

Highlights of the Experience include:

⁃ An over 2-and-a-half-mile experience interweaving lights, sculptures and stories
⁃ Animal sculptures that tower 3 stories high
⁃ An original soundtrack incorporating classic holiday themes and Native American influences.
⁃ A natural cave which houses a bar for refreshments
