What December feels like
Smoky Mountain Christmas runs at Dollywood through the month and the town is at its most cheerfully lit. The road over the gap can close without much notice when the high country ices up, while down at the river it is usually just wet.
Rain arrives about 10 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. about 21 nights dip below freezing.
