Ever dreamt of a white Christmas? Well, it's a rarity in East Tennessee, but that doesn't mean we skimp on holiday cheer! Join me, Dusty, your guide on the Tennessee Roads podcast, as we travel through the heart of Appalachia to experience a Christmas like no other. You'll discover the magic of homemade decorations and family heirlooms, the wonder of caroling and storytelling, and the joy that community involvement brings. Get ready for a taste of Smoky Mountain Toons and Tales, a delightful blend of history, humor and festive tunes that capture the essence of the holiday season.

Feeling adventurous? It's time to dive deeper into the Smoky Mountains and uncover the vibrant holiday offerings of Dollywood. From the enchanting Twas the Night Before Christmas show to the traditional Christmas in the Smokies show, there's something for everyone. We'll also explore holiday hotspots like Shadrack's Christmas Wonderland and Frightworks Haunted Holidays, along with the family-friendly Peppermint Trail in downtown Knoxville. And for the ice skating enthusiasts, let's glide over to the outdoor rink at Market Square and the indoor rink at Ice Chalet.
