How tall is the Christmas tree at Dollywood?

With heights towering up to 12 feet, dozens of beautiful Christmas trees in Dollywood bring out the childlike wonder in all of us and help remind us what this special season is really about.

The 50-ft Christmas tree at Wilderness Pass plaza is where the “Wonderful Christmas show” was held in years past.

Dollywood Christmas Tree Light Show 2022

When: Nov. 5, 2022 -Jan. 1, 2023

Where: The Plaza at Wilderness Pass

In the past years, the Wonderful Christmas Tree Show at Wilderness Pass Plaza has followed the story of a polar bear whose black bear cousin lives in the Smokies.

At first, the polar bear is sad because he longs to visit his cousin but can’t make the trip south because it’s too warm in Tennessee. But then he hears that a historic ice storm has frozen over part of Dollywood (you know it as Glacier Ridge). So he jumps in his sled and races to see black bear.

It’s the best Christmas ever because he spends it with family. You can read more about on The Plaza’s storyboard.

Before heading to the Christmas tree light show in Dollywood, it’s important to wear warm clothes like sweaters and waterproof jackets. The winter months in Tennessee can be cold and the last thing you want is to be shivering during your visit!
