Dollywood is making the holiday season even sweeter! The beloved Tennessee theme park has unveiled a delicious lineup of festive food and drinks for its annual Smoky Mountain Christmas celebration, and there are plenty of tempting treats waiting for visitors this year.

From a Red Velvet Whoopie Pie filled with creamy icing to a Marshmallow Christmas Milkshake loaded with chocolate, caramel, and marshmallow, the new holiday menu is giving guests another reason to look forward to Christmas at Dollywood.

The annual Smoky Mountain Christmas, presented by Humana, runs from November 6, 2026, through January 3, 2027, bringing the magic of the holiday season to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

During the festival, the park transforms into a Christmas wonderland filled with millions of twinkling lights, beautifully decorated trees, festive displays, and special live holiday shows. And, of course, the seasonal food is part of the experience.

This year’s menu features a tempting mix of returning favorites and new seasonal creations. Here are some of the treats visitors can look forward to.

Red Velvet Whoopie Pie

Red velvet lovers may have just found their new favorite holiday dessert.

The Red Velvet Whoopie Pie features two soft, fluffy red velvet cookies with a generous layer of cream cheese icing sandwiched between them. It’s a festive twist on a classic sweet treat and looks like the perfect companion for a winter day at the park.

The Stuffing Stacker Returns

One of the returning favorites is the Stuffing Stacker, a hearty holiday dish that brings Thanksgiving and Christmas flavors together in one delicious serving.

It starts with mashed potatoes topped with cornbread dressing and roasted pulled turkey. The whole dish is finished with savory gravy and house-made cranberry sauce.

For visitors craving a comforting holiday meal between rides and Christmas shows, this one sounds especially tempting.

Apple Dumpling

Nothing says cozy holiday comfort quite like a warm apple dessert.

Dollywood’s Apple Dumpling features baked apples wrapped in a flaky pastry shell, served with vanilla ice cream on the side. The combination of warm pastry and cool ice cream makes this a classic seasonal treat that’s hard to resist.

Marshmallow Christmas Milkshake

This isn’t an ordinary milkshake.

The Marshmallow Christmas Milkshake blends vanilla ice cream with fudge, caramel, marshmallow, and graham crackers. It’s topped with whipped cream and a cherry, creating a rich, festive drink that sounds like Christmas in a cup.

Parmesan Rosemary Garlic Knots

Not everything on the holiday menu is sweet.

The Parmesan Rosemary Garlic Knots offer a savory snack for guests walking around the park and enjoying the Christmas decorations. The soft bread is coated with rosemary and Parmesan cheese, with pizza sauce served on the side for dipping.

It’s the kind of snack that could easily become a favorite between holiday attractions.

And if one red velvet treat isn’t enough, it could make a delicious pairing with the Red Velvet Whoopie Pie.

Mint Chocolate Chip Brownie Sundae

Even when the temperatures drop, there’s always room for ice cream.

The Mint Chocolate Chip Brownie Sundae starts with a rich brownie topped with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Chocolate shavings, whipped cream, and a cherry complete the dessert.

It’s a festive combination of chocolate and mint that brings a little extra sweetness to the winter season.
