Looking for the perfect, picturesque town to visit this holiday season? Look no further than Gatlinburg, Tennessee! Gatlinburg was recently named one of the best small towns to visit during Christmas!
HGTV recently released a list of the top 50 small towns to visit for Christmas. They identified a group of "small towns with big Christmas spirit," all of which promise "to deliver a storybook Christmas filled with candy canes, hot chocolate and Santa." If you're looking for a cozy, magical holiday trip, then HGTV knows just where you should look! Gatlinburg was one of the towns that made it onto the incredibly competitive list.
Speaking of Gatlinburg, HGTV wrote: "Bustling Gatlinburg in the heart of the Smoky Mountains is worth a visit year-round; but in the holidays, the town roars to life with stores filled with Christmas decor, sauntering Clydesdales horses, skiing and snowboarding at Ober Gatlinburg and the magic of nearby Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas. Families can have breakfast with Santa Claus at the Old Mill or ascend to the top of the Gatlinburg Space Needle for bird's-eye views of the sea of Christmas lights below."
