This Bavarian-style shopping village is one of the top ten Christmas and Collectible stores in the United States, and houses a multi-store shopping complex of over 43,000 square feet. You can't miss it from the highway - the store is even bigger inside than it looks from the outside, and they carry ornaments and decorations to fit pretty much any theme you can come up with!

From Easter to Christmas Eve, Singing Santa is in residence - you can have your photo made with him (for a nominal fee), buy his cd, or just listen as he entertains the shoppers, young and old alike.

When you are finished purchasing your decorations, wander around the garden area - there is a large train set that delighted the 5-year-old in my company, and other shops to browse - perhaps start or complete your gift shopping here.

What to buy: While at the Incredible Christmas Place, you may as well purchase a souvenir ornament from your trip to the Smoky Mountains - perhaps a black bear in a stocking, or a porcelain ornament depicting this shop itself?

What to pay: Lots of ornaments, lights, and other decorations - obviously prices vary depending on item and brand

Lots of outlet stores are here. We went to the midnight Black Friday event at one of the outlet centers and I was only able to do one store (the Gap). When I got out of that store there was huge lines at all the others (like 1 hour waits!). We couldn't hack it and left. :p

This shopping plaza is within walking distance of the trolley stop and the Old Mill restaurant. There are a variety of shops in the plaza. Some of the shops are: Angels Among Us,
Finishing Touch, Gold 'N Memories, Kitchen Kupboard, Pattern Hutch, Pigeon Forge Craft Center, Miss Dee's Old Time Photos and Spencer Williams Gallery

This shop is for the dogs! Literally! Whatever specialty items you need for your dog, you will find it here.

What to buy: You can buy little outfits for your pooch, figurines, treats, picture frames, jewelry, collectibles and dog strollers to keep your pup comfortable and out of the rain.

What to buy: You can find anything that has to do with cats, including collectibles, figurines, T-shirts, jewelry, purses, cat toys, cat beds, DVD's and trinkets. and on and on....
