A Twinkling Adventure Begins

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can bring joy and wonder to families. When I heard about the Holiday Lights Tour in Sevierville, I knew it was something my family and I had to experience. The idea of a holiday-themed light tour, complete with a heated tour bus and over 12 million lights, sounded like the perfect way to kick off the festive season.

We arrived in Sevierville with excitement bubbling in our hearts. The thought of leaving our car behind and letting someone else do the driving was a welcome relief. With two kids in tow, the idea of a stress-free evening where we could simply enjoy the lights and the holiday spirit was incredibly appealing. The tour promised not only dazzling lights but also insights into the area’s history and local attractions, making it a well-rounded experience.

A Magical Journey Through Lights

The tour began in Pigeon Forge, where we spent about an hour marveling at the Christmas light displays. The kids were wide-eyed with wonder as the lights twinkled and danced around us. It was a magical sight, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of childlike wonder myself. The tour guide, Dustin, was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting tidbits about the area and pointing out the best spots to capture the perfect holiday photo.

Next, we headed to Gatlinburg, where the light displays were equally mesmerizing. The bus was warm and cozy, allowing us to relax and enjoy the scenery without the hassle of navigating through traffic. The kids were thrilled to receive their special holiday gifts, a thoughtful touch that added to the festive spirit of the evening.

The Grand Finale at Soaky Mountain

The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the Shadracks Christmas Light Show at Soaky Mountain. Hundreds of thousands of lights danced in perfect harmony with the holiday music, creating a spectacle that left us all in awe. It was a fitting finale to a night filled with joy and laughter.

As we made our way back, I couldn’t help but reflect on the experience. The Holiday Lights Tour was more than just a tour; it was a chance to create lasting memories with my family. It reminded me of the importance of taking time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like the twinkling of holiday lights and the warmth of family togetherness.

For families looking to add a touch of magic to their holiday season, this tour is a must-do. It’s a stress-free way to enjoy the beauty of the season and create cherished memories with your loved ones. So, gather your family, hop on the tour bus, and let the holiday lights guide you on a journey of wonder and delight.
