Adorned with evergreens, poinsettias, classic holiday attire, and twinkling lights, the space immerses guests in the magic of Christmas. As you take in the festive atmosphere, you’ll feel transported to the serene foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains and gaze upon a starry sky reminiscent of Bethlehem on the night of Jesus’ birth.
Don’t miss your chance to witness the all-new Elegance on Ice, an enchanting ice skating spectacle that transforms the arena into a shimmering winter wonderland. Watch as talented skaters glide across the holiday ice, captivating the audience with their breathtaking grace and skill.
Everyone loves some friendly competition, right? Christmas at Dolly Parton’s Stampede features a playful twist with a friendly rivalry between elves in the North and South! 32 magnificent horses will race one another as audience members cheer their respective sides of the North Pole and South Pole to victory. Both sides win at the end of the day, as musical productions of Christmas classics dazzle the audience.
The true meaning of the season will come alive right before your eyes! You’ll marvel at the live Nativity, a portrayal that is both dramatic and spectacular. Three kings arrive atop real camels while shepherds guide their flock, all reminding you of the spirit of the season.
Watch in delight as the Sugar Plum Fairy brings toys to life right before your eyes. Dolls, nutcrackers and more will mesmerize the audience with exciting tricks and performances. Even Santa makes an appearance, arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh.
We hope you come hungry for the 4-course dinner feast, because it is fit for a king! Your plates and tummies will be full after a delicious meal that includes a whole rotisserie chicken, hickory-smoked barbecue pork loin, herb-basted potato, buttery corn on the cob, creamy vegetable soup, and a homemade biscuit. Then, top it all off with a sweet treat – an apple turnover. TIP: Dunk your biscuit in the soup for maximum enjoyment!
