About 30 minutes away (20 miles), Dollywood trades fall color for 6 million Christmas lights when Smoky Mountain Christmas opens November 6, 2026 through January 3, 2027.
Peppermint Valley takes over the Country Fair, a towering tree anchors the nightly show, and indoor productions like Christmas in the Smokies keep things warm between light displays. Named America's Best Christmas Event for over a decade running, worth the drive from the quiet side of the mountains.
