Christmas in Dollywood®

Christmas in Dollywood®

Join in the holiday festivities at Dollywood’s® Smoky Mountain Christmas. This spirited adventure begins at Dolly Parton’s Stampede® for a lively Welcome Party complete with a delicious four-course meal, open bar, and live entertainment. Find yourself in a wonderland as you soak in a special holiday show with 32 horses, hundreds of twinkling lights, falling snow, and your favorite holiday songs. The next day members will head to a local hotspot for a delicious lunch before the real fun begins at Dollywood’s® Smoky Mountain Christmas. Don’t miss a ride on The Dollywood® Express where you can cozy up as more than 6 million twinkling lights dance above your head. And be sure to visit Glacier Ridge to see award-winning shows like “Christmas in the Smokies” and “’Twas the night before Christmas” in this breathtaking wintery wonderland. Members will also get an all-inclusive dinner with non-alcoholic beverages and a special souvenir cup. On this experience we take care of everything- including private transportation to all events. Just pack your holiday cheer and enjoy!
