๐ŸŸข๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸข๐Ÿ”ด Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas 2024 - Tasting Pass Menus, Info and More!๐ŸŸข๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸข๐Ÿ”ด

Hi Everyone,
Dollywood has released information related to the Smoky Mountain Christmas Festival.  I've got menus, operating calendar and more below.  Smoky Mountain Christmas starts on Friday, November 1st and runs thru January 5th, 2025.




Dollywood is open daily throughout the Festival Except for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas.  Dollywood's schedule through the festival is 11am to 9pm.  Dollywood closes on New Years Eve at 9pm, so no midnight celebration at the park.  However, the resorts have celebrated in the past with a prix fix event.  I'll keep my eyes peeled for it and report it back here if I do.

Let's dig into some more details.

Don't forget to use your Gold & Diamond Pass for a discount.

This tasting pass operates the same way as all the other passes before it.  You get to choose any five items from the Christmas Festival Menu.  You don't have to use them all in one visit.  You can share a pass - they could make for a great date night meal!

๐ŸŸ Rides - Weather Permitting, All of the rides should be in operation, except for the two water rides which have closed for the season.

Dollywood does have Weather Guidelines that they follow for inclement weather and temperatures, and Smoky Mountain Weather can throw some curveballs.  Read my blog post about Dollywood's Weather Guidelines HERE.

The spirit of Christmas shines merry and bright during our Smoky Mountain Christmas festival presented by Humana during this special season, with the event beginning on Nov. 4 and ho ho ho-ing all the way through Jan. 6, 2024!  The 15-time winner for Best Theme Park Christmas Event boasts more than 6 million shining, shimmering lights throughout the park, but the newest ones will fly above the park each evening as part of a stunning holiday drone show - Joyful. Our summer drone show has been one of my family’s favorite nighttime experiences for the last several years, so we are really looking forward to this sparkly new sight during the holiday season.

Here's the Schedule for Week Two.

Pro Tip:  Notice how Dollywood uses an orange font in the showtimes above?  If you would like to see every single show, then plan your day according to those orange showtimes.

Shows/Performances...
  • Heidi Parton's Christmas to Remember is new this year.
  • Appalachian Christmas is the Smoky Mountain String Band's Christmas Show, if you weren't aware.
  • Looks to me like all of the other shows are returning from last year.
Other Cool Stuff...
  • Snow in the Grove is new this year.  Everyday beginning at 6pm, then every half hour with the last one at 8:30pm.
  • Merry & Bright FIREWORKS Show is new this year.  It takes place in Wildwood Creek on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:45pm. This show replaces the Joyful Drone and Fireworks Christmas Show from last year.   See my video of the 2023 Joyful Show HERE.
  • Always popular Santa's List returns to The Village.  It's everyday from 11am to 8pm in the Heartsong Theater.
  • Wings of America (Bird Show) moves to Saturdays Only with a special holiday themed show.
  • The Dolly Parton Experience will have some Christmas related items throughout the various exhibits, as I understand it.
