East Tennessee
Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood
Lights, shows, and a smaller ride map — the park's winter season.
Dollywood's Christmas season is the one many East Tennessee families treat as an annual trip: light displays, seasonal shows, and enough rides still turning to justify the ticket. Weekends are marked here; the park generally runs daily through the holiday stretch, with dark days in January.

Evenings are the point. Dress for a ridge wind, not for a Nashville December.
