GATLINBURG, Tenn. — A brand new experience is coming to Anakeesta to kick off the park’s Enchanted Winter event! Starting November 11, visitors can enjoy a special sweet treat from five locations throughout the park while taking in new lighting experiences, the Smoky Mountains, seasonal décor, and the cozy winter atmosphere. From Smokehouse restaurant in Firefly Village to the Watering Can in Vista Gardens, guests can embark on the Hot Chocolate Trail.
Cozy Drinks with a View

Adults can add a splash of Sugarlands’ Butter Pecan Sippin’ Cream for an extra treat.
Guests who ride the Ridge Rambler may want to visit Cliff Top Restaurant to sample the Peanut Butter Surrender, made with Reese’s Pieces, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and topped with a Reese’s Cup. Adults can enhance it with Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey.
