Yes, it all began Memorial Weekend 1986 on the parkway in Pigeon Forge. The Incredible Christmas Place opened, and the owners stood and watched all the cars streaming by, waiting for them to start turning in at 2470 Parkway. How we’ve grown since then!
The Incredible Christmas Place, circa 1986!
That first year, several of the shops were leased to other business owners, and now it’s all under one family. We’ll tell you more about the life and times of Christmas Place Properties as the year unfolds, of course.
But first, we’d really love to hear from you…
-
Do you have a first memory or a best memory or a crazy memory of a visit to Christmas Place? You know, we’ve had more than one wedding in the courtyard – where’s your wedding photo?
-
Do you have the first photo you or your children took with Santa at Christmas Place? You have to share it with us again – even if Junior was screaming his head off!
-
How would you like to celebrate our 25th year with us? (Well, of course we’d like to give everyone a 25% discount on everything all year long, but c’mon now!) We’re planning weekly activities and entertainment, but we’d like to hear from you on this, too. Personally, I’m really jonesing for a special totebag and a t-shirt, but maybe you want something different to remember this special year. Tell us what it is!
Please either leave a comment here, or visit us on Facebook or our forum and tell us about your memories of Christmas Place. I’ve got an enormous pile of photo albums on my desk, and I hope to find more goodies to share throughout the year. Past and present employees, prepare to be embarrassed as we explore the fashions and hairstyles of years gone by .. those of you who remember when you {had} hair, especially.
Happy Birthday, Christmas Place!

we have visited you for years. Have bought many christmas tree ornaments from you. We enjoy walking through your shops every year. Last year, we enjoyed 3 wonderful nights at the Inn and hope we can do that again this year. A discount would be wonderful. And, we want to try the new restaurant too. Everythig there is wonderful………….
we are excited that our first visit will be during the year you celebrate your 25th. I like the idea of a t-shirt or tote bag. I would love to see a magnet or an ornament celebrating the event. We always get magnets on vacations.Can’t wait to visit in December!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
One more thing, a gift basket or bag in the rooms at the Inn would be super nice!!We will be there in mid-December to celebrate our anniversary and an early Christmas trip.
