It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only a few short weeks away. That being said, it’s time to start making sure that your family has everything it needs to enjoy the perfect holiday season inside your Pigeon Forge cabin. For tips on how to prepare for this, read below!
Arrive a Couple Days Early
In order to make sure that Christmas day goes as smoothly as possible, you and your family will want to arrive a couple days early to prepare for the festivities. This will give you plenty of time to travel to your Pigeon Forge cabin and check in.
Like with most popular seasons in the Smoky Mountains, the closer we get to Christmas, the more traffic we are more likely to see in the area. That being said, by arriving a few days early, you won’t have to worry about missing out on any family fun because you are stuck en route.
Not to mention, by arriving a few days early, you will also have some extra time to pick up any last minute Christmas presents for your friends and family who will be arriving to spend the holiday with you. This will also give you the chance to wrap any last minute gifts and place them under the tree or hide them until it’s time for them to be unwrapped on Christmas morning.
Have Your Groceries Delivered
With all the fun things to do in the Smoky Mountains that you and your family can enjoy, the last thing you want to have to worry about when spending Christmas in a Pigeon Forge cabin is going grocery shopping. Sure, it is fun to stroll through the aisles and piece together recipes to prepare, but why not enjoy a little extra relaxation during your trip by allowing someone to do your grocery shopping for you?
The Smoky Mountain Grocery is a well-known grocery delivery service that, for a small fee, will do all the grocery shopping that you and your family will need for your Christmas vacation and deliver the bags directly to your cabin’s door. They will also work with the reservation team at Great Outdoor Rentals to make sure that your groceries are ready for you when it’s time to check in to your Pigeon Forge cabin.

Don’t Forget the Hot Chocolate
There is nothing better than unwinding with your friends and family on your Pigeon Forge cabin’s private deck with a warm cup of hot chocolate while you overlook the scenic Smoky Mountains. Because of this, we encourage any group choosing to spend the holidays inside one of our rentals to remember to pack their favorite hot chocolate or coffee brand to enjoy during their stay.
Speaking of fun and relaxing things to do while enjoying a Christmas vacation in a Pigeon Forge cabin, you and your family will definitely want to bring your favorite holiday-themed movie to enjoy during your stay. A few of our favorite Christmas flicks include:
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas
- Miracle on 34th Street
- A Christmas Story
- Elf
- It’s A Wonderful Life
- National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
- Home Alone
Don’t forget that you and your family can make your movie marathon even better by experience your favorite film on the big screen of your cabin’s home theater system, like the one found inside our God’s Grace cabin in Pigeon Forge.
