Christmastime has evolved over the years, even in our lifetime. However, if we turn back the calendar to the 1840s, to the days of Charles Dickens, Christmas would undoubtedly have looked a lot different and certainly a lot less commercial. Instead of imagining an old-fashioned Dickens Christmas, experience it for yourself this holiday season. Plan a visit to the one-day Dickens’ Christmas in Missouri this December.

Stroll back through the pages of time to the years that Dickens’ famous A Christmas Carol was fresh on the shelves when you visit Main Street in the enchanting town of Warrensburg.

The darling town will host its Dickens’ Christmas Living Windows event on December 5, 2020 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Windows of select stores will leap alive with artists, crafters, and others working on their crafts and providing a glimpse into yesteryear.

Costumed characters will also meander along the streets, singing Christmas carols during the festivities. You might even feel like singing along.

Bring the kiddos along, too, as the festivities will feature a special guest – Father Christmas.

Due to the pandemic, all guests are asked to wear a mask when appropriate. The event is also the perfect time to do a little bit of holiday shopping. (Shops may have their own safety requirements, so please follow those guidelines, too.)
