PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (TENNESSEE VALLEY LIVING) - Santa called up the folks at TVL to dish out five reasons why you should experience the magic at Dollywood this Christmas, and each one has us wanting to book a trip faster than you can say “Santa’s got a brand new bag.”
1) Six Million Lights - That’s right. We don’t recommend counting them, but just know a display like this takes months of prep. “Christmas in July is really a thing because [of when] we start,” says Public Relations Manager Ellen Liston.
2) Shows - Colder weather certainly means you’ll need a warm-up, so good thing Dollywood has plenty of indoor entertainment. “You can go see ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, which is this fun production that might include some mice!”
3) S’mores - We know Dollywood is known for its cinnamon bread, but there’s a new treat this time of year that’s sparking interest. “There’s a new s’mores station right between the Dollywood Express Train and the Santa Experience,” says Ellen. “Several dozen yummy new holiday culinary treats... My favorite: Red Velvet Funnel Cake.”
4) Shopping - Needing a special Christmas gift for someone? “Make them a Christmas ornament at our blown glass shop,” says Ellen. “We have the concoction so you can make the ‘Ornament of Many Colors.’”

5) Snow - Did we mention you can guarantee some wintery weather? “Every night we have snow in the grove. It’s on the hour, several times a night. It’s just the power of Dolly.”
