Guide To The Incredible Christmas Place In Pigeon Forge TN Near Gatlinburg

Who would have known that back in 1986, a small gift shop in Pigeon Forge, TN would grow into a 43,000 square foot palace celebrating nearly everyone’s favorite holiday?

But that’s exactly what happened with Hurshel and Marian Biggs family business, located next to the town’s Old Mill center. Over the years, the family acquired more property and expanded its holiday store.

A Smoky Mountains Christmas Store

Today, you can visit the result of this decades-long undertaking – the Incredible Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge. It’s the South’s largest holiday-themed retail business, the number one shopping stop in town and an enjoyable side trip if you’re visiting the Smoky Mountains.

While you can go onto their website and buy your holiday decorations, gifts and collectibles on their website, there’s nothing like visiting the store itself.

But the light show has just started. Step inside, and you’ll see them illuminate each department. Most come from sixty designer Christmas trees around the store and from the strings of decorative lights that adorn displays for ornaments and decorations. Elaborate model train railroads run both inside and out, so if you’re a big fan of this hobby, you’ll be thrilled to see these displays. Other merchandise includes apparel, music, jewelry, indoor and outdoor home décor and nearly anything you can think of for the holidays.

In fact, you’ll find the largest selection of Department 56 collectibles in the entire country right here. These charming ceramic artworks first started with their Christmas villages.
