- 4 inches of snow fell in downtown Gatlinburg, TN, on Christmas Eve and early Christmas morning, with higher elevation areas receiving even more. This video shows our drive through town in the snow, and also getting out and walking through the beautiful snowfall.
Loved it. No background music. Just real voices and real background sounds. Best experience.
Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!
We serve an awesome God who allows the beauty of His creation!
I am disabled now and may never get to return to my beloved gatlinburg. This made my day! people do not know how much goes into a video like this. the walking was the best part! thank you for making this video! I feel like I was back in Gatlinburg thanks to your hard work!
We really appreciate your kind comment. And we are glad that this video was something that you were able to enjoy, and that it brought back memories of Gatlinburg for you. That's what makes it all worth it.
@@NCMemoryMakers Going through a tough patch right now. Surviving by God's Abundant Grace. I hope to be able to return to Pigeon Forge soon. God Bless!
I remember driving through just before Christmas in ‘13. The place is so lit up from lights and decorations it’s just incredible. Glad y’all did a drive through video. Just incredible how much they decorate.
Yes, it really is beautiful that time of year. The snow just added to that.
This is a beautiful video. I retired in 6/2019 after 45 years in Radio/TV/Telecommunications engineering. Never had a holiday off until I went into TV. So, as a Christian, I empathize with you about working on Christmas Day. I also remember my father working many a Christmas Day as hospital medical staff don't get holidays, either. If I go at Christmas, I'd likely follow your example and eat in my hotel room. Unless there are ham radio or model train stores there, I wouldn't be much of a shopper. Fortunately, I only have God and myself to satisfy. Have a blessed day!
I can see hospital workers, law enforcement officers, and those who truly have to be on duty, working on holidays. But restaurants and stores should close and let their employees be with their family, or spend the day however they wish. I completely agree with you.
I am not aware of a model train store there, but there may be one.
Beautiful lights. Thank you!
I love the videos you posted they are all great so don't worry about the windshield wipers you did a great job on the videos. I just love it anyways and even though my comments come two years late I thoroughly enjoyed the videos you did for christmas and hope you do more again. I love christmas videos.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments. We love doing Christmas videos, as well. Especially when there's snow, like in this video.
Love the beautiful snow thanks can't wait to see your adventures
Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind words. We will be uploading some videos next week from our trip to Florida. That's where we are now.
The Village is my favorite place also. Beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing!

Love this video. I’m going with my family couple days after Christmas this year and we are so excited!
Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind words! I hope you have a wonderful trip, and get to see some snow.

That's awesome. We usually get a decent amount of snow up here in Baltimore. It is definitely beautiful in the mountains. Thanks for sharing.
And thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it.
We are heading down for the week of Christmas again this year.... 2nd time during the Christmas season! Thanks for sharing guys!
Enjoy your trip! Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you get a white Christmas this year, like last year was.
Beautiful ride thank you. I didn't mind the windshield wipers at all. It added to the coziness
So glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your kind words. We appreciate you watching.
I dropped in for a visit and decided to stay. While you were filming this downtown I was filming Christmas Eve up at our cabin. I wondered what it looked like downtown, now I know. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. 🤗💕
Yes, that certainly was a beautiful evening, both downtown and at your cabin. Hard to beat a Christmas Eve snowfall.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I hope to see many more from y'all.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I have always wanted to go to Gatlinburg Tennessee..so pretty ❤
You are very welcome. Hope you get to go soon!
Thank you and your wife for sharing your Christmas video of Gatlinburg Christmas Vacation . Yes and the snow fall was an added bonus. What a great idea to do this each year. Maybe see you there one year.
Thank you for the nice comment. We're in Gatlinburg regularly, so hopefully our paths will cross soon.
Thank you very very much for this video sir. You and your wife narrated this perfectly.
And thank you for your kind and encouraging words. We appreciate it.
Hi , first time to your channel. Great video guy’s! Me and my wife was there for a week the day after Christmas. We have a time share at Westgate Resort. We are at the top and can see Gatlinburg from our balcony. What a beautiful town all year round! Look forward to seeing many more of your videos! God Bless!
Thank you for watching, and for your kind comments. That certainly was a beautiful time to be there at Christmas, wasn't it?
Hello was in Gatlinburg first time ever in early August I'm still getting video feeds of the area, it will be September 1 here in half hour, your video was inspiring to the point that we made hot chocolate.Very nice video!! Smokies and towns are Beautiful.
Yes, they are very beautiful. So glad you had a great trip, and thank you for watching our videos and letting us know you enjoy them.
Thank you so much for posting this video I lost a very close family member a couple days ago and I kept telling myself I need to try to get in the Christmas spirit and I search for Tennessee Christmas and your video came up oddly enough you sound a lot like that person that I lost anyway thanks for taking the time to post the video are used to live in Knoxville for a couple years and before that I lived in Memphis and later settled in Birmingham Alabama. We don’t go to Gatlinburg is often as we used to we got married there in 1999 but I think maybe after seeing this video I may surprise my wife for the trip just for a couple days to see the lights and try to clear our minds thanks again and merry Christmas to you and yours.
First, let me say that we am so very sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our prayers. I am glad that our video brought some comfort in such a sad time for you. I think surprising your wife with a trip like this, would be a great idea. Sometimes its good to just get away, and like you said, clear your minds. We also posted another video on Christmas Day last year, where we went just went on a beautiful drive through the snow covered Tennessee countryside. It was on the same trip as this one. Wasn't sure if you might like it, as well. It was a beautiful drive. It is called "White Christmas In Sevier County, TN".
In addition to Gatlinburg, 2 other places that have great Christmas lights, are Dahlonega, Georgia and Helen, Georgia. We were just there last weekend, and are heading back to Gatlinburg next weekend. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I love Gatlinburg. Be there soon.
Awesome! Have a great trip!
Love the smokies love Tenn
Yes, it's a beautiful place. We were just there this past weekend. Fall and winter are especially nice.
We was up there the week of Christmas and it start snowing Christmas eve 2020 we has no light we didn't get light back on until Christmas morning around 3:00 we arefrom Louisiana it was beautiful
It certainly is a beautiful place, and especially in the snow!
I’m from the Smoky Mountains x 40 years. Hubby retired from Asheville Police Department after 31 years and now after he retired, we live in Florida. I’m “Team Mountain “ he’s “Team BEACH” Ugh 🥰 LOL. Anyway, this video is AMAZING! Trying to go to sleep, imagining my snow during the holidays instead of HOT temps.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
I had to share your cute video to My Christmas Page on Facebook Father Christmas Forever
Cool accent, Hi from England 👍
If I could meet a female who talked like that when I come over I would marry her 9 times! …. lol
She's originally from the state of Minnesota, but has lost most of the Minnesota accent. She doesn't quite have a Southern drawl yet, either. But we're working on it.
@@NCMemoryMakers
I went through Minneapolis back in February 2018 on my way back to NYC from visiting friends in Wyoming.
NEW TO YOU’RE CHANNEL, was planning a trip there for my family this year, what are the chances of a white Christmas? Thanks. In advance
It can happen, but it may not. Gatlinburg gets some snow every winter, but just not always at Christmas. The good thing about it, is that you have the Great Smoky Mountains, and the higher elevations get much more snow than in town. So, even if there's none in town, there may be some higher up. We've gone every year at Christmas for over 20 years, and we've seen white Christmases, and some where there was no snow.
It's a church, it should be free! Or was it a church!, anyways we hope to move to Tennessee one day. So What's to do their in the winter time?
There is plenty to do in the winter time. You might want to consider Ober Gatlinburg, which you can either take the cable car from town up to the top, or you can drive up and pay a small fee to park. There is a really nice chair lift which takes you up to the top, and the views are extraordinary...Especially if there is snow. It can be a cold ride up, though.
Nearly everything is open during the winter months, so the possibilities are endless. There is the Sky Bridge, which is pretty nice, but not cheap. Its something to do once or twice, like maybe to see it in the fall, and then again in the snow.
One of our favorite things to do in the winter, is ride up into the National Park when there is snow. Be aware the National Park road closes during snow, but usually re-opens in a day or two.
Pigeon Forge literally has endless shows and entertainment possibilities, with many Christmas themed shows in the winter.
Not sure what you were referring to as being a church. If you meant Christ Memorial Gardens, it was not a church, but an attraction. It is now closed down.
I always liked Pigeon Forge better for lights and overall vibe. But this is pretty too. I doubt I could live there with the amount of congestion these cities get.
Good video, but here's a suggestion. Maybe get out and walk some when the weather permits. I know Americans don't walk, but the views are so much better from outside the car.
We actually did. It's a bit into the video because of the traffic, but that's why I titled it "Drive/walk through". We parked, got out, and walked the town.
Start watching about the 20:40 mark. I even put text on the screen, that says "Time to get out and walk".
In addition, we have several hiking videos posted, as well. We actually love to walk.
Do Shops, restaurants & Hotels stay open during Christmas eve & Day if people decide to celebrate Christmas in Gatlinburg?
The shops are open through the holidays, but many do close on Christmas day, which is fine with us. We are generally in Gatlinburg that time of year, and we simply make it a point not to eat out on Christmas Day. We get plenty of food for what we will need through that day. Most everything is open Christmas Eve, and the day after Christmas. And yes, some restaurants do remain open on Christmas Day.
Thinking of moving to Tennessee. After this Hurricane Ian😢😢😢😩😞. Any tornadoes there?
I won't say it's never happened, but it is a very rare occurrence. The worst thing that ever happened to this area, was the wildfires of 2016.
Now, I would imagine there could be tornadoes in Central and Western Tennessee, because it's flatter there. You do not really hear of them much in the mountainous areas.
Do you need spike thru your car to drive ?
Not that I know of.
When does it start snowing in Gatlinburg?
Snow is possible anytime from December through early March. I have seen it in November. But that's not often.
Actully loodks butiful
The snow is beautiful but that traffic is crazy, not worth it for me lol
With tge rain
That was on december or january?
This was the Christmas Eve snowfall. Gatlinburg, and the entire area, had a white Christmas
@@NCMemoryMakers I would like go there on December but I want to go and see the snow ⛄️ what do you recommend me?
@@mauricioortiz9253 snow is hard to predict in Gatlinburg, because it's at the foot of the mountains. We were very blessed to see it this time. While it does snow there every winter, your best bet would be in January to see some. If you go up into the mountains, there is a lot more snow a lot more often.
You can see snow in the higher mountains from November through April, but in Gatlinburg, mainly the end of December through February or early March.
If you can be flexible for when you take your trip, just be watching the forecast and plan it when there's supposed to be snow. This past winter, they had quite a bit.
Now parking is $ 20
Sad that money forces people to work Christmas Eve and Christmas. I like my childhood in the 80’s when nothing was open at Christmas, and Jesus was the focus. Gatlinburg also isn’t what I remember as a kid. We’ve done a family Thanksgiving in Gatlinburg for years. But last year changed our mind about this year. We were stuck in traffic the whole trip.
I agree. Even though we were up there on Christmas Day, we had bought enough food prior, that we ate in the room. We have a principle about eating out on those days, and we feel those employees should have those days with their families. We went on a nice scenic drive that day, but did not shop or eat out. And yes, Gatlinburg has changed over the years. I still remember it when I was a kid...much more family friendly. Today, its been taken over by the moonshine stores.
All white Christmas lights are ugly. It makes me sad that my town now has only white lights. I miss the beautiful colored lights they had when I was a child. now everything is just white washed and lacks any heart and soul.
I like colored lights better, too.
