A Smoky Mountain Christmas

Fly from the UK to Nashville, USA.

Your Smoky Mountain Christmas kicks off in Music City, where the twinkling lights of Broadway shine just as bright as the stars who perform there. Stay in the stylish Holston House, a boutique retreat in the heart of the action. Tap your boots to live honky-tonk, soak up the festive spirit at Opryland’s Christmas lights and experience true Southern hospitality. And, of course, no trip to Nashville is complete without learning to two-step like a pro—your Nashville Line Dancing Class will have you ready to hit the dance floor in no time.

Welcome to Dolly Parton’s hometown, where the Smoky Mountains create a picture-perfect holiday setting. Your stay at The Resort at Governor’s Crossing offers cosy comfort just minutes from Sevierville’s twinkling Winterfest lights. Explore charming shops, sample Southern-style moonshine and drive through the Enchanted Christmas Village at Shadrack’s Light Show. Beyond the towns, get your adrenaline pumping with a ride on the Rocky Top Mountain Coaster, the longest coaster in East Tennessee, winding through forested hills and offering stunning Smoky Mountain views. With the crisp mountain air and holiday tunes filling the streets, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a classic Christmas movie—only this time, you’re the star.

Christmas magic reaches new heights in Pigeon Forge, where Dollywood’s festive cheer shines through every twinkling light. Check into Dollywood’s HeartSong Lodge & Resort, a mountain retreat infused with Dolly’s signature warmth. Your Dollywood admission tickets unlock a wonderland of sparkling lights, live Christmas shows and steaming cups of cinnamon-spiced cider. Whether you’re chasing Santa or singing along to carols, Pigeon Forge is a Christmas dream come true.

Your Smoky Mountain Christmas wraps up in Chattanooga, where the festive spirit flows as freely as the Tennessee River. Stay at The Chattanoogan Hotel, perfectly placed to explore the city’s twinkling riverfront, vibrant arts district and world-famous Lookout Mountain. Hop aboard the Tennessee Valley Railroad’s Holiday Express, visit the glowing Rock City Enchanted Garden of Lights or simply enjoy a warm drink by the river. With a blend of nostalgia and adventure, Chattanooga is the perfect grand finale to your festive escape—y’all will be planning next year’s trip before you even head home!

Drive from Chattanooga to Atlanta, then fly to the UK.
