Rudolph and his friends, Clarice, Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster and Yukon Cornelius arejust a few of your favorite Christmas friends that you can see during your trip to Dollywood this Christmas. You can play games and visit with these characters at Rudolph’s Holly Jolly Junction, a magical area full of festive fun.
When you are finished visiting with Rudolph and friends, go and check out the two Christmas performances only featured at Dollywood. The first is Dollywood’s A Christmas Carol which is a never before seen adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic.
