Day 1

This morning we are off to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Along the way, we will make a stop for lunch on your own. We check in to The Inn At Christmas Place, our hotel for the next three nights. The Inn is an award-winning Christmas themed hotel with Bavarian architecture, lush landscaping and Old World charm. This evening, dinner is included at Bullfish Grill, which offers fresh, local ingredients in new American-style dishes. After dinner, we kickoff the season in style at the Christmas at Array Variety Show. Experience the talents of world-class vocalists and Yuletide dancers, whose performances capture the joy and magic of the holidays. This is a performance that will leave you filled with the spirit of the season. (D)

Day 2

After a delicious breakfast at the hotel (maybe you had a made-to-order omelet), we kick off our holiday shopping at the Tanger Outlet Center. With over 100 stores, the mall is beautifully decorated for Christmas, featuring twinkling lights and festive displays. Next, we head to The Island, a favorite destination in the Smokies with all kinds of shops, restaurants and entertainment options. Have lunch on your own and enjoy more Christmas shopping and their giant Christmas tree. This afternoon, Dollywood Park welcomes us with its dazzling display of 5 million Christmas lights. Festive shows like “Christmas in the Smokies” featuring traditional holiday music, seasonal treats and heartwarming performances are all part of Dollywood’s amazing holiday celebration. A meal voucher is included for dinner this evening. (B, D)

Day 3

We enjoy another breakfast at the hotel this morning, before taking a beautiful scenic ride on one of America’s largest aerial tramways, from Gatlinburg up to Ober Mountain. We glide 1.2 miles from downtown Gatlinburg to 1,470 feet on a 120-passenger, guided tram ride with breathtaking scenery to Ober Mountain Adventure Park and Ski Area. Once at the top, a guide will lead us to our exclusive dining area, where we’ll enjoy a warm delicious meal with panoramic views of the Smoky Mountain landscape. After we descend the mountain back into the heart of Gatlinburg, we take a tour of the Smoky Mountain Moonshine Company. This afternoon, explore downtown Gatlinburg, where the streets are lined with festive lights and decorations, and the town offers a variety of shops, galleries and stores with homemade candies. For dinner this evening, we will attend Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner Show in Pigeon Forge for a spectacular holiday extravaganza, including their four-course holiday meal. This show, with the cast and 32 magnificent horses, also includes the arrival of three kings atop real camels in the live nativity scene. New this year is “Elegance on Ice,” where the Stampede arena transforms into a frozen wonderland where ice skaters dazzle the audience with their graceful skills on the holiday ice. Santa himself may also make an appearance in a horse-drawn sleigh! (B, L, D)

Day 4

Following breakfast, we depart for home, loaded with cheer and maybe Christmas gifts, ready to share our holiday joy with others. On our way back, we make a stop at one of the famous favorite travel centers, Buc-ees, before arriving home late this afternoon. (B)
