With the holiday season rapidly approaching, do you know where you’re celebrating? If you’re looking to take a break from hosting and feel like traveling this year, book your stay at The Park Vista. Found in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, our hotel is the ideal home base for anyone looking to experience the magic of Christmas in Gatlinburg. To help you have the best trip possible, we’ve put together this step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Research Local Events
Normally, we recommend booking your accommodations in Gatlinburg first. However, for those planning a Christmas vacation, we actually recommend researching local events as your first step. There’s no shortage of fun and festive happenings taking place throughout the holiday season. While some run all season long, others may have more limited runs. For example, the Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade is only one day in December, while Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood runs from November to the beginning of January.
Pro Tip: Purchase tickets to events like Smoky Mountain Christmas or Lights Over Gatlinburg early.
Step 2: Book Your Gatlinburg Accommodations
Once you know which events are at the top of your must-experience list, book your stay at our round hotel in Gatlinburg. Because we offer you an array of lodging styles, you can find the one that’s right for you. Maybe you’re looking for the extra space and amenities that come from a suite, or perhaps one of our king rooms will be right for you. Regardless of what room style you choose, you’ll have a private balcony overlooking the stunning Smoky Mountains.

Step 3: Look Up Other Things to Do on Your Vacation
Just because you are visiting for the holidays, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some other quintessential Gatlinburg winter activities. Go for a ride on the lift at Anakeesta, or go skiing and snow tubing at Ober Gatlinburg. Bundle up and go for a walk on local trails, like the Laurel Falls Trail or the Rainbow Falls Trail. If you are going hiking, be sure to check for trail closures before you head out.
Pro Tip: Give yourself a chance to warm up while still having fun by including some indoor activities, like visiting Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, in your itinerary.
