4 Ways to Celebrate Christmas in the Smokies with Your Family
Leave the holiday stress at home when you spend a relaxing Christmas in the Smokies! Discover a few of the best ways to celebrate the upcoming holidays while enjoying some much-needed time away from the daily hustle and bustle!
1. See A Christmas Show
No matter what type of show you’re interested in, Pigeon Forge has many family-friendly options and some great discounts available!
One of the most popular holiday dinner shows in the area is the Dolly Parton’s Stampede Christmas Show. With twinkling lights, beautiful poinsettias, festive costumes, an amazing live nativity scene, and of course a delicious 4-course meal, there’s no better way to get in the Christmas spirit!
Another entertaining way to enjoy some comedy along with delicious food is at the Hatfield & McCoy Christmas Disaster Dinner Show. Watch these dysfunctional families put their differences aside to come together for a knee-slapping evening of good food and holiday cheer!
Want to enjoy a show on its own without a meal? For a lighthearted and hilarious holiday celebration, we recommend seeing A Comedy Barn Christmas! This show features family-friendly comedy, amazing live animals, a medley of musical talents, and much more! Country Tonite’s Christmas Show is another fantastic option, with incredible performers singing your favorite holiday songs with a country twist!
2. Enjoy The Light Displays
Area attractions such as The Island, Dollywood, SkyLand Ranch, Anakeesta, and Gatlinburg SkyPark all transform into winter wonderlands and are decked out in millions of twinkling Christmas lights. But the best part is, you can take the self-guided Winterfest lights driving tour and experience magical, dazzling light displays along the Parkway without spending a penny!
3. Go Holiday Shopping
Exploring all the great souvenir stores, artisan shops, and Christmas stores in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg is a fun way to celebrate Christmas in the Smokies! Whether you’re shopping for yourself or trying to finish up your Christmas gift shopping list, the Smokies have a wide variety of stores where you’ll find everything you’re looking for. The Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Fair at the Gatlinburg Convention Center is also a great place to find one-of-a-kind handmade gifts, from pottery and quilts to artwork and jewelry.
4. Spend Family Time At Your Cabin
One of the best benefits of our Wears Valley cabin rentals is our close proximity to all of the festivities while also offering seclusion and stunning mountain views. Our Smoky Mountain cabins have all the perks and special touches that will take your vacation from normal to spectacular and keep your family entertained throughout your entire trip!
If your family loves watching movies together, you’ll love staying at a cabin with a theater room. The big screen, surround sound, and comfortable seating make you forget that you’re not at the movie theater! And if you enjoy competitive games like pool, air hockey, foosball, and arcade-style games, you’ll be excited to see your cabin’s fully loaded game room!
During the evenings, gather your family around the outdoor fire pit to toast marshmallows, tell stories, and simply enjoy quality time together while surrounded by the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains. You can even bring hot dogs and experience cooking dinner together on the fire!
