USA: Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Creates Christmas Joy in Pigeon Forge

Since this weekend, visitors to Dollywood theme park, which was founded by country music star Dolly Parton, have been able to enjoy the park’s Christmas season. During the “Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas“ weeks guests are offered a variety of seasonally themed experiences. Until January 3rd, the park will be illuminated with millions of decorating Christmas lights. At the end of every day guests will be able to enjoy the Christmas fireworks display called “Merry & Bright“. To create a holiday feeling, the shows “Christmas in the Smonkies“, “Heart of the Holidays“ and “Christmas with the Kingdom Heirs“ will be taking place on the park’s theater stages. An additional new experience will be “Santa’s Cabin“, where kids and kids-at-heart will be able to observe “Santa Claus“ and his work.

Dolly Parton hopes to create long-term Christmas memories: “Some Christmases are more memorable than others, and I think this year is certainly one we won’t forget. I want families to feel the warmth and comfort of all the great things they remember about Dollywood at Christmas, with a few new experiences that will become the memories they share years from now. In twenty years, when someone says, ‘Do you remember 2020?,’ of course they’ll think about how strange this year has been, but I also hope they’ll stop and say, ‘Yes, but remember that special time we had at Dollywood during Christmas that year.’”

The Christmassy offerings will be completed with seasonal F&B offerings throughout the park’s restaurants, cafés and bistros. (eap)
