For all my people who have been with me and seen all our Dollywood adventures over the past few years, you'll know this one went very differently, but we still had a great time and it meant a lot to us to be there, and it means a lot to me to be able to always share with you our real experiences, as they are, not always perfect, but always memorable and precious to us! Stay tuned as our very interesting time in Pigeon Forge vid is next - it snowed, we got evacuated off a ride, it was a TIME!!! Lots of love! - J P.S. Here is the playlist of ALL past Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg fun: th-cam.com/play/PLfwwPOxvTRIRUp1-6tYz4b_5jL7TtAhYs.html And if you want to see MORE travels all over the USA, including our cross-country road trip from THIS YEAR, and lots of wonderful road trips and travels all over, here is that playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLfwwPOxvTRISpQyMNY5QcqAD3h0SL2g85.html
You and Sam's attitude anytime things don't go your way says a lot about the both of you, some of us with less patience can learn from you 2. Btw, your Pigeon Forge videos are always A+ entertainment!!!
The Adventure is out there you tube channel had the same opinion of the pizza as you did. Sorry visit wasn't as smooth as it could be. Loved my visit to Dollywood in December 2019. It was much warmer and all rides were open.
Glad to see ya'll made the best of the no food situation and still had a good time. It was beautiful at night all lit up. Thanks for sharing another great video. Excellent job, Jackie and Sam. Love you guys.❤
I love that train whistle!!! My granddad, great grandad, and great great granddad were all train engineers. It feels like a hug when I hear that sound.😊
We were there a couple of weeks ago. I love the Christmas decoration, but it is so cool. I love spring with the flowers and kites. Weather is just right and everything is green and beautiful.
Huge disappointment with the chill in the weather I will be there on the 26th for the 2nd yr in a row. Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish // Absolutely Loved Every Minute
Jackie, i love these Dollywood vlogs! Theres something very warm and fills your heart about them. And youre always honest and genuine in them. And can i just say how cuuuuuuuuuute you look, especially when the vlog first comes on and its just a blast of cuteness, beautifullness and a bundled up absolutely striking Jackie in all your winter glory. As im used to the cold here in N.I. and wearing wintery clothing and layers, i love your look!!!!! You suit it soooo much. Totally loving these vlogs, canr wait for more gorgeous girl, keep doing what youre doin, youre No.1 at this!!!!! Luv n hugs, Claire 💚💚💚 oh n the trains whistle doing Jingle Bells was just the best ever!!!!🚂🤶🎄🎅🚂
ahh Claire, this is so incredibly kind of you, and I really needed this today so thank you for the kindness and encouragement!!! I'm so happy to have you here! And yes, the jingle bells train whistle made me smile so much!!!
@@SuperEnthused ohhhh, no,,,,,,,,,, i hope youre ok, truly. Have a few irish hearts to give you strength and conviction. 💚💚💚 you reli are a genuinely beautiful young lady, inside and out. Sending you love and support. Stay strong and know how wonderful a person you are. I hope you feel bttr very soon. 💚💚💚 luv n hugs as always 😘
Dollywood was the #1 place to visit on my bucket list and my sister just moved to knoxville so I flew up to TN. We went last Tues and it was FREEZING! I've never been so cold in all my life 🥶 Yes the lines for the 3 inside sit down restaurants and the shows were very long but they had a number of bus loads of seniors enter the park in the morning when we got there and they headed straight to the shows and anyplace warm. We decided to wait until late afternoon to see the show that you saw and also hear dolly's neice Heidi perform and by waiting we got right into both of them. I was a bit disappointed but for me it was just too cold to really enjoy everything. I will definately go again when it's warmer 😊 I can't wait to get back to sunny, warm Fl 🌴🌞 Unlike Elsa the cold bothers me..a lot! 😄☃️
I've waited 2 years for you to show us Dollywood at Christmas. I'm sad that it was an off day there. 😢 But I so appreciate your positive attitude and taking us on this journey. Glad you got some cinnamon bread.
What an exciting adventure awaits you at Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas! I love that you're savoring every moment, even the less-than-perfect ones, those often turn into the best memories! The train ride on the Dollywood Express with the holiday decorations must be enchanting. They’re all part of the experience! Keep sharing those amazing moments!
I'm very sorry you had such a rough time at Dollywood. The last time Kay and I were there we had to leave the park to eat. Just like you the lines were sooooo long that we didn't do it either. We went to the Woodfire grill buffet and it's amazing. The Sunliner is a 50's cafe who's menu is a newspaper, and Mama's Farm house is also an excellen buffet where ghe bring the food to your table. Hope you guys have a better time but as always this video was excellent. Thank you and Sam for all your work on your content. It certainly shows and boyh of you are the best content creators on TH-cam in my humble opinion.
Oh yea, we ate at Sunliner on our fall visit to Pigeon Forge and we LOVED it I showed it in my fall Pigeon Forge vlog, favorite place for breakfast there so far. I'll have to check out Mama's Farm House, that's one we haven't tried yet.
Hi Jackie and Sam ❤😊. I'm soooo excited for you too , to be there. Pigeon Forge is on my bucket list too to go there. Love Dollywood from watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. It's soooo beautiful there.
Fall is our favorite time in Pigeon Forge! But we had an unfortunate day at Dollywood last fall on a very crowded day. Similar issues with the food like you all had, it was SO overcrowded and the staff were unfriendly. We thought maybe just overwhelmed with the crowd. It's still such a beautiful park in the Fall! Thank you for the video! 😊
I love that you got to experience a Smokey Christmas! It’s my favorite time during Dollywoods year. This video is also super special cause I got to see my mom and little sister in the background of your video! They were over on the bench in the arctic light section, it’s my mom’s favorite part of the lights for Christmas.
WOOHOO!!! 🎄🤩Thanks so much for taking us along for your first (same here) Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood!🦋Lots of love to you both! Happy Holidays! ❤🌟
Dollywood is my home park so I get sooo excited to see when you upload any content from this park or Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg in general. Can’t wait to watch this one :’)
Hey Jackie and Sam, fantastic christmas video, holiday light spectular, train ride and more from beautiful Dollywood in TN..Enjoy and keep spreading the Christmas holiday season cheer..
Everything looked amazing at night! 🎉❤🎄 Loved the giant pink Christmas tree. 💗🎁 Thanks for sharing the festivities with us. Stuffing stacker sounds fabulous. 😔 You can't win them all. - western NY Aimee
I am so jelly but in a good way. I have wanted to go to a Smokey mountain Xmas at Dollywood for years and have yet to do so. So I am thrilled you and Sam wen5 and showed so much fun details ( with cool facts). And I really appreciate your smooth video skills. And well done editing. So good.
Can't have it your way every time!🤭 Seriously tho you made the best of it and still had a fab day. Hearing Christmas songs of any kind usually annoys the heck out of me, but I could listen to that choir all day, and if Dolly has a Christmas album why am I only learning about it now? 😂 superior to everything. Looking forward to what's next, as always.
I agree...what great singers! Fantastic. Sorry you had other unexpected issues there but overall what a great evening. Hoping that you and Sam are having a great holiday season! Mega load of love for you two! Thank you sis!
We really enjoyed this video! Thanks for taking us along with you. Dollywood is really beautiful at Christmas time and now we really want to see it in person!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤you guys just wanted to thank you for sharing your Dollywood fun just kinda realized that doubt isn’t that far from my cousins in Kingsport so I’m at the surprise of them and all the kids with a trip there. Maybe we’re running into you guys around somewhere sooner or later.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ as always stay safe have fun. I’ll catch you later.❤❤❤❤❤❤-BrianG. 😂😂🎉🎉
We just got back from Pigeon Forge / Gaitlinburg, Tennessee the week of Thanksgiving. We went to several dinner shows and The Island. Pigeon Forge was an amusement park all by itself. Everyone was everywhere and busy. The Island was great we rode the Ferris Wheel and watched the fountain show and had some moonshine / wine moonshine. We left on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it snowed the next day! We were in a cabin on mountain in Sevierville Tennessee. We would have been stuck! DONT GET SNOW STUCK ! 🙌 TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDD! 🙌
I have always wanted to go to Dollywood. I need to make it a priority. I’m so happy that you and Sam are able to experience all these wonderful theme parks. Thanks for bringing me along, I thoroughly enjoyed watching.
Jackie, so glad you ended up being able to get some of the Cinnamon Bread! It would’ve been very sad if you couldn’t get some, it always looks so delicious! When I was a kid my Dad used to take us up to a little town in the mountains that had a small, family run bakery. They made the most delicious Pull-Apart Cinnamon Bread! We always got two loaves, one we’d eat there at the bakery and one to take home. Later, my Dad built a cabin at a lower elevation, and we’d frequently drive up to the little town by the lake and get that Pull-Apart Cinnamon Bread. Such great memories! I’m happy that you and Sam are creating your own wonderful memories, and you too enjoy Cinnamon Bread. Happy Holidays to you both! Stay warm and happy travels! 🎄👋
Our trip last christmas was a mess, no fault of the park! Our kids caught a stomach bug that was going around their school but we didn't realize it until we got to Dollywood. Needless to say, we made the five hour trip home in record time! The Heartsong staff was fantastic.. Our next trip was much better! I also saw Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman were there!!! So fun!
Great video! Im am 💯 % a Christmas time guy, but honestly I do like the fall/Halloween decor at dollywood better than the Christmas festival. It's bigger and tons more fun!
sorry that you all had eventful visit. I will always love the Christmas season. Next time take the train at night. You can see everything lit up which is beautiful. However i still drive around neighborhoods looking at everyone else's lights. I just love Christmas lights. 😂
My husband and I went to Dollywood in early November for the first time and fell in love!! We absolutely loved the Smoky Mountain Christmas festival, but had nothing to compare it to. Now I feel like we need to go in the fall next year to compare the two 😆. Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed watching your video after being there last month ❤️
I have been to Dollywood a lot. We had season pass last year. We just didn’t renew this year. I like all of the seasons. I have been there on passholder days and seen Dolly. We were at Disney when you and Sam were at Dollywood. Try Big Daddy Pizzeria next time. It is one of our favorite restaurants.
You've gotta try Christmastime in Gatlinburg, too! Sorry this trip didn't go well. That's disappointing. Hopefully you can try it again some other time and have a better experience. It looks like the train ride would have been really cool at night with all the lights. Seems like the singing was the best part!
I was hoping you went to Dollywood! It sucks about the food. I can understand because of the crowds. Christmas is popular season there. Everything was beautiful! It made me want to go to Branson and see SDC. 😅 I loved Fall/Halloween there. Thanks for taking us along! ❤
Hi, I'm a bit behind on watching. Love seeing y'all enjoy Dollywood at Christmas time. It is beautiful and the train ride is awsome. Love show, songs and views. Too bad that they need to figure out a better food situation for people on busy times. I read on Google that Dollywood is so popular that there has been people waiting outside of the park trying to get inside, after it's already so full of guests. Crazy. Anyway, y'all kept your enthusiasm and that makes it fun. Hope the next time y'all go at Christmas time, it will be a bit better food options available. I want go in Christmas time in future, so far we only been a couple of times in the summer, even though we loved it there, we vacationed mostly at beaches. Anyway, this was still looking like a goid time. Food just needs to be a bit more options. Thanks for sharing. Thanks fir reading my long comments. Be Safe Take Care ❤😊 Sam too😊 🕯 Happy Holidays 🕯 and 🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄 to everyone.
I agree. It is better in the park. I forgot that you mentioned the hotel option in an earlier video. I ike your family’s positive attitude on a more difficult day at the park.
Hi Jackie, you’ve really sparked our interest in visiting Dollywood. When would you recommend seniors ( non rollar coaster people) visit the beauty of Dollywood ? We’ve never been to Pigeon Forge. Fall or Christmas? When are crowds lowest? How much time would you budget for the area?
We see soooooo many seniors every time we are at Dollywood, and honestly families and people of all ages. I think for a lot of folks, the coasters aren't the main attraction, it's more the atmosphere, the shows, shopping, food, and all the different things to see and do. I'd recommend it for anyone! As far as crowds, I have no idea really! We have been once per season since 2022, and it is different every single time! If you've seen my past Dollywood vids, you'll see we've been when it's empty, and slammed, and everywhere in between! I think it's more day of the week than season, like weekdays are almost always more quiet, except during holidays. Fall is still my favorite for how much extra they do to the parks.
@SuperEnthused We loved Smoky Mountain Christmas when we were there in 2023! We did fall this year and are looking forward to going for Christmas again next year! We’re going the beginning of November. I would suggest giving it another shot and going more towards the beginning of the festival before most people are thinking about Christmas, if you can work it into your schedule.
As pretty as Christmas is, I love the fall/pumpkin luminights. I live an hour and a half from PF and used to vacation during December but the last couple of years I've done a stay at Universal Orlando for the holidays. I just got back home last night from another great trip. If you're ever needing some great ice cream, try Cruze Farms across from the Tanger Outlets.
It's an established fact that hunger issues get worse when wearing a Buc-ees sweatshirt. There's the constant reminder of brisket sandwiches and beaver nuggets...
I wish you did too! When I was living in Miami and couldn't get to Orlando, I'd look for cute local things like gardens and stuff who had fun Christmas events and attractions. Maybe you've got something cool nearby?
Jackie, When you get home you have to go to Disney Springs and wear your magic band. It Interacts with the trees and go to the side of the Disney store and activate the two windows with letters. Sorry, I don't know how else to get a message to you. Love all your video, safe travels home.
My wife and I love watching all your adventures. Your video quality and editing is always outstanding. What kind of camera do you use for the night shots? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We are going this winter, during the first week in January. We have been passholders for years but never done Christmas there. Hopefully, it’s not too crowded. We are staying at Inn at Christmas Place, I wanted it to be really special. I don’t think we will be renewing our passes next season, because it has just gotten way too crowded, especially this past spring/summer, and they don’t even offer fast-passes for the only children’s rides that my daughter will ride (despite there always being hours long lines for those too).
Hey Sam did it freak you out when you found out the tune to Away in a Manger was different here - I lived in the UK for 10 years and that was one of the things that was a surprise!!! Happy Xmas to you both - O miss chip shop pies too but I really miss curry sauce with chips and RIbena!
whoa! he says he didn't really notice, but when I asked, he was like, oh yea! And I just listened and it's so interesting. Something new I learned today, thanks for that!
Big L for the food situation. The train there is so majestic, especially with the whistleblowing. The twinkling Northern Lights were pretty. The sparkly butterflies and the pink Christmas tree for the win. We've only been there once and not during a festival. Not sure if it was a mic issue or not, but there were parts of the video where it was somewhat difficult to hear both of you.
Hi Jackie and Sam. At least you got the Cinnamon Bread. I haven't been to Dollywood yet. Of your Videos of Dollywood, Summer and Autumn are my Favourites, then Spring, and Christmas is undecided ( with just 1 visit). Will Buc-ee's make an appearance in this Road Trip Series? Stay Safe and Keep Having Fun during this Festive Season. 👋🏻🇨🇦
This year Christmas at Dollywood is super disappointing it has NEVER been this way but with the construction where the big tree usually is and several rides closed along with the lack of food it just makes for a bad combination 😢
I’m so sorry that it happened to you and Sam regarding finding some food to eat. If that would to happen to me, I would leave the theme park immediately. I don’t do well with extremely crowded places. I would stay at the hotel nearby for the remainder of the day and order room service or go to a less crowded nearby restaurant.
lol imagine running out of food at A THEME PARK😂 I've lived here all my life and Dollywood is trying sooo hard to be Disney. But they run outta the most basic thing. Food. 😂

We were at Disney when you and Sam were at Dollywood. Try Big Daddy Pizzeria next time. It is one of our favorite restaurants.
You've gotta try Christmastime in Gatlinburg, too! Sorry this trip didn't go well. That's disappointing. Hopefully you can try it again some other time and have a better experience. It looks like the train ride would have been really cool at night with all the lights. Seems like the singing was the best part!
I was hoping you went to Dollywood!
It sucks about the food. I can understand because of the crowds. Christmas is popular season there.
Everything was beautiful! It made me want to go to Branson and see SDC. 😅 I loved Fall/Halloween there.
Thanks for taking us along! ❤
So pretty at night!
I always thought there was no such thing as bad pizza, but the stuff you had looked YUK.
I have always thought the same, but this was truly yuck! 😂
Sams right about the U.K. Chicken and Mushroom pies. Pukka pies are the best!
Was just there for my first ever visit to the area on Friday Dec 6th. Bummed I missed you guys.
Loving the matching hats you guys, only noticed at the end of the vlog when the spooky xmas wind blew by.hope your eyes ok too ❄️👫🤠 💚💚💚
good eye!!!
Lol, no wonder. My wife and I was looking hard for you and Sam at OI and just saw that you're in TN lol! Be safe out there y'all!
Love the video
Great Festive Video Jackie and Sam
Great job on video ❤
Wonderful vlog Jackie.
Hi, I'm a bit behind on watching. Love seeing y'all enjoy Dollywood at Christmas time. It is beautiful and the train ride is awsome. Love show, songs and views. Too bad that they need to figure out a better food situation for people on busy times. I read on Google that Dollywood is so popular that there has been people waiting outside of the park trying to get inside, after it's already so full of guests. Crazy. Anyway, y'all kept your enthusiasm and that makes it fun. Hope the next time y'all go at Christmas time, it will be a bit better food options available. I want go in Christmas time in future, so far we only been a couple of times in the summer, even though we loved it there, we vacationed mostly at beaches. Anyway, this was still looking like a goid time. Food just needs to be a bit more options. Thanks for sharing. Thanks fir reading my long comments. Be Safe Take Care ❤😊 Sam too😊 🕯 Happy Holidays 🕯 and 🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄 to everyone.
If you ever have a problem getting the Cinnamon Bread in the park, her hotels also carry it without the long lines.
Yes totally! We did that when we stayed at Heartsong and I showed it in the vid as a tip then too! It’s better in the park tho.
I agree. It is better in the park. I forgot that you mentioned the hotel option in an earlier video. I ike your family’s positive attitude on a more difficult day at the park.
Hi Jackie, you’ve really sparked our interest in visiting Dollywood. When would you recommend seniors ( non rollar coaster people) visit the beauty of Dollywood ? We’ve never been to Pigeon Forge.
Fall or Christmas? When are crowds lowest? How much time would you budget for the area?
We see soooooo many seniors every time we are at Dollywood, and honestly families and people of all ages. I think for a lot of folks, the coasters aren't the main attraction, it's more the atmosphere, the shows, shopping, food, and all the different things to see and do. I'd recommend it for anyone! As far as crowds, I have no idea really! We have been once per season since 2022, and it is different every single time! If you've seen my past Dollywood vids, you'll see we've been when it's empty, and slammed, and everywhere in between! I think it's more day of the week than season, like weekdays are almost always more quiet, except during holidays. Fall is still my favorite for how much extra they do to the parks.

@SuperEnthused We loved Smoky Mountain Christmas when we were there in 2023! We did fall this year and are looking forward to going for Christmas again next year! We’re going the beginning of November. I would suggest giving it another shot and going more towards the beginning of the festival before most people are thinking about Christmas, if you can work it into your schedule.
Hahah - I would have been Hangry!!!
I was haha!
As pretty as Christmas is, I love the fall/pumpkin luminights. I live an hour and a half from PF and used to vacation during December but the last couple of years I've done a stay at Universal Orlando for the holidays. I just got back home last night from another great trip. If you're ever needing some great ice cream, try Cruze Farms across from the Tanger Outlets.
Totally, fall and pumpkin luminights is Dollywood’s best season. And universal during the holidays is sooooo good!!
It's an established fact that hunger issues get worse when wearing a Buc-ees sweatshirt. There's the constant reminder of brisket sandwiches and beaver nuggets...
You’ve gotta try Silver Dollar City at Christmas! It’s about as close as you can get to the Osborne Family Lights.
We’ve got to out that on the agenda for next holiday season! But hopefully we can go there before that.
I wish I had some Theme Parks in my home state that I could visit for Christmas
I wish you did too! When I was living in Miami and couldn't get to Orlando, I'd look for cute local things like gardens and stuff who had fun Christmas events and attractions. Maybe you've got something cool nearby?
Another great video my friend
Hi Jackie and Sam. We just pulled into PF today. We hope we see you around.
hope you have a great time!!
Jackie, When you get home you have to go to Disney Springs and wear your magic band. It Interacts with the trees and go to the side of the Disney store and activate the two windows with letters. Sorry, I don't know how else to get a message to you. Love all your video, safe travels home.
My wife and I love watching all your adventures. Your video quality and editing is always outstanding. What kind of camera do you use for the night shots? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We love Dollywood at Christmas but they no longer decorate the park like they did before the pandemic. Really enjoyed your video.
I really wish you had actually sent me Cinnamon Bread! 😆
WE NEED THE TECHNOLOGY!!!
Future hack: if you don’t want to wait in the line at the grist mill for cinnamon bread, you can also get it at the bakery at the front of the park.
You guys need to go to Silver Dollar City in Branson for Christmas. So much better!!
Dollywood also sells Cinnamon Bread at the bakery in the front of the Park AND at the Dollywood Hotel
Yea totally! We got it at the hotel during our stay at DreamMore Resort and I showed it then. It’s best and freshest from the Grist Mill tho!! 😋
We are going this winter, during the first week in January. We have been passholders for years but never done Christmas there. Hopefully, it’s not too crowded. We are staying at Inn at Christmas Place, I wanted it to be really special. I don’t think we will be renewing our passes next season, because it has just gotten way too crowded, especially this past spring/summer, and they don’t even offer fast-passes for the only children’s rides that my daughter will ride (despite there always being hours long lines for those too).
Are you in town?!! Oh man! Come to the Apple barn! I work at the Christmas store! I’ll hook you up with my discount! 😁😁😁
Hey Sam did it freak you out when you found out the tune to Away in a Manger was different here - I lived in the UK for 10 years and that was one of the things that was a surprise!!! Happy Xmas to you both - O miss chip shop pies too but I really miss curry sauce with chips and RIbena!
whoa! he says he didn't really notice, but when I asked, he was like, oh yea! And I just listened and it's so interesting. Something new I learned today, thanks for that!
Bom dia aqui dó brasil
Big L for the food situation. The train there is so majestic, especially with the whistleblowing. The twinkling Northern Lights were pretty. The sparkly butterflies and the pink Christmas tree for the win. We've only been there once and not during a festival. Not sure if it was a mic issue or not, but there were parts of the video where it was somewhat difficult to hear both of you.
Looks like you missed meeting santa. My video of smoky mountain Christmas uploaded last Friday. Debbie and I were on Santa's nice list
Hi Jackie and Sam. At least you got the Cinnamon Bread. I haven't been to Dollywood yet. Of your Videos of Dollywood, Summer and Autumn are my Favourites, then Spring, and Christmas is undecided ( with just 1 visit). Will Buc-ee's make an appearance in this Road Trip Series? Stay Safe and Keep Having Fun during this Festive Season. 👋🏻🇨🇦
This year Christmas at Dollywood is super disappointing it has NEVER been this way but with the construction where the big tree usually is and several rides closed along with the lack of food it just makes for a bad combination 😢
I’m so sorry that it happened to you and Sam regarding finding some food to eat. If that would to happen to me, I would leave the theme park immediately. I don’t do well with extremely crowded places. I would stay at the hotel nearby for the remainder of the day and order room service or go to a less crowded nearby restaurant.
lol imagine running out of food at A THEME PARK😂 I've lived here all my life and Dollywood is trying sooo hard to be Disney. But they run outta the most basic thing. Food. 😂
