Christmas in Gatlinburg FAQ

Snow is possible but not guaranteed in Gatlinburg at Christmas. The town sits at about 1,400 feet elevation. Higher elevations in the national park (like Newfound Gap and Clingmans Dome) are more likely to see snow. Either way, the Winterfest lights create a magical winter atmosphere!

Winterfest is Gatlinburg's annual winter celebration running from early November through mid-February. The town is decorated with millions of LED lights, creating a stunning winter wonderland. The lights display runs every evening throughout the celebration period.

Many restaurants and attractions in Gatlinburg operate with limited hours or are closed on Christmas Day. Most guests prefer spending Christmas Day in the cabin anyway - cooking breakfast, opening gifts by the fireplace, and enjoying family time. Plan to stock up on groceries before Christmas Day.

As early as possible! Christmas is our most popular holiday and cabins book up quickly. Many families reserve their Christmas cabin 6-12 months in advance, and some book a year ahead. Contact us today to check availability for Christmas 2026.
