The best way to experience the Smoky Mountains this winter is through the eyes of a child. The majesty of the mountains and over 15 million twinkling lights provide the perfect setting for childlike wonder, excitement and imagination. Snowtubing, street side storytelling and caroling, parades, spectacular shows and entertainment, skiing, fireworks, festive shopping, fireside fellowship and the sweet flavors of the season are being cooked up all over town and are sure to warm you this winter. Authentic family fun awaits as our vacation area transforms itself into a winter wonderland in hopes that we may never outgrow the youthful anticipation of freshly fallen snow, the peace that cold crisp air brings and true awe at the simple yet gripping sight of our Great Smoky Mountains. A winter visit to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Sevier County offers a priceless opportunity to create cherished family memories that will last for generations.

Like a child, you’ll explore and discover new wonderment at Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas’ brand new Glacier Ridge complete with a 50-foot animated Christmas tree, polar bears and Dollywood’s own version of The Northern Lights! With eyes wide open, you’ll watch as acrobats soar, choirs sing, imaginations delight and the true meaning of the season comes alive at Christmas at Smoky Mountain Opry with Chris Blue, season 12 winner of NBC’s The Voice. With pure elation, you’ll leap with excitement at Ober Gatlinburg on the ski slopes, snow tubing park, ice rink or aboard the aerial tram ride to the mountaintop playground with breathtaking views. As a brisk blast of cool mountain air often does, you’ll awaken your youthful senses and discover true tranquility on a hike to a frosty waterfall in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Like a homemade work of art, you’ll discover Appalachian history through our beloved Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community and jump with joy at the deals you’ll find at Tanger Outlets Sevierville. In childlike spirit, you’ll delight in the sights and sounds of a dancing light show that lights up the night sky at Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland. Your inner child will leave you longing for more winter fun in the Smoky Mountains.

Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Sevier County will be vibrant with winter fun, offering great vacation value and family adventure all in one convenient location beginning November 9, 2018 through February 2019. Make your plans today and experience this special season with us in the Smoky Mountains… through the eyes of a child.
