The Smoky Mountain Christmas Festival is the Biggest and Best Festival at Dollywood! The
Smoky Mountain Christmas Festival runs from November 10th thru December
30th. Dollywood transforms into a stunning Christmas wonderland
highlighted by over 3 million lights! You will enjoy festive foods,
sensational shows and fill your heart with the spirit of Christmas!
One of the show highlights of the festival is the incredible journey through Dollywood’s Babes in Toyland.
21 toy soldiers march across the stage led by a 14 foot general. The
cast consists of 20 members and is accompanied by a fully orchestrated
musical score. The show consists of a variety of characters that come
to life through puppetry, amazing acrobats and beautiful scenery. This
show is returning by popular demand and is a must see while visiting
the Christmas festival.  Other
highlights include the country’s tallest German Christmas
pyramid, many Christmas themed shows and Santa’s Workshop. In
Santa’s workshop, you will find Santa Claus and larger than life
size toys to greet you. Enjoy Appalachian Christmas, a down home
acoustic Christmas performance at the Back Porch Theater. Look for
Ebenezer Scrooge as he walks around the park spreading his brand of
Christmas cheer. And meet Tinker the famous Christmas tree. He is
larger than life and will entertain your children with his hilarious
antics and fun holiday stories. Also watch for the Victorian Melodies
carolers.
Dollywood’s Christmas shows include
Christmas in the Smokies, Twas the Night Before Christmas, O’
Holy Night, An Appalachian Christmas and Carol of the Trees. You can
find more information on these shows on our Dollywood show page at Dollywood's Shows!
The Smoky Mountain Christmas Festival is
one of my favorite times of the year to visit Dollywood. Whether you
are a kid or a kid at heart you will enjoy your time here. One thing is
for sure, you will leave with a true spiritual feeling of the true
meaning of Christmas!
