Twinkling

More Than 6 Million Lights Shining Bright

Explore a Christmas of many colors at Dollywood this holiday season! Slow down for a scenic stroll through the park and notice how each land tells a seasonal story through its unique and vibrant hues. Discover Santa's Village with its classic red and green, the crisp blues and whites of winter in Glacier Ridge presented by GooGoo Cluster, a soft candlelight glow throughout Craftsman's Valley, and more. Towering up to 12 feet tall, dozens of spectacular Christmas trees inspire a sense of childlike wonder, reminding us what this special season is all about.

Enjoy these classics on our indoor stages, then stroll through the crisp mountain air to experience outdoor performances of "Appalachian Christmas," "Holiday Wild Roots," and "O Holy Night." Don't miss a minute of holiday music.
