Just trying to see my kids faces light up. There's nothing like it.

Not a snow area, but have you considered Chattanooga? Rock City does a great Christmas theme. There's also the aquarium, Ruby Falls, and the incline railway up the mountain.

It's a great and inexpensive 3-4 day getaway.

I'd recommend staying at River View Inn on the side of Lookout mountain. https://www.stayatriverviewinn.com/?utm_source=gmb

We always make a stop in Chattanooga on the way to Gatlinburg.
