A Mill-Made Christmas
Have A Jolly Ole Christmastime At The Old Mill this year. Here are some fun things to enjoy all during this special season.
Book a meal in one of our Igloos! Reservations are required, so be sure and get your name on the list. Each igloo is decorated for a winter experience you don’t want to miss! Click HERE for more information.
Stop in The Old Mill Candy Kitchen to get our customers’ seasonal favorite Red Velvet Fudge, and try our Candy Cane and Chocolate Mint Fudge flavors too. Did you know that if you buy 1 pound, you get ½ a pound free? So you can get ½ a pound of all three Christmastime flavors!
The Pigeon River Pottery is filled with handcrafted snowmen of all shapes and sizes! You can find a snowman face platter, a snowman mug for your favorite hot cocoa, or even a snowman luminary to fill the season with a soft cozy glow.
This year we’re brightening the holidays with our 20-foot live Christmas Tree! You can see it as you cross the bridge over the Little Pigeon River, and even as you head down Old Mill Ave from Teaster Lane. It’s the perfect picture spot for the whole family!
At the Pottery House Cafe, we also have seating available in the Lodge. There’s a warm fire and lots of trees. When you step inside, you are transported to the mountains, all aglow with lights up above each evening. During the day, you have the perfect view of Mt. LeConte in the distance.
You have to pick up jars of our famous Christmas Jam and Christmas Pickles in the Farmhouse Kitchen or Old Mill General Store. Our Christmas Jam is made in small batches with pears, oranges, and a touch of cinnamon, so the holidays taste just like you remember. And as for the pickles, well, there’s nothing like a little spice to go with a crisp pickle bite!
Kids will be in search of the Bear Over There again this year. Inside each of our shops, there’s a bear hard at work being his best festive self. All you have to do is find him, mark it on the card you pick up at any register, and when you’ve found them all, turn it in for a fun little surprise!
Old Forge Distillery has turned their cocktail lounge into a Whiskey Wonderland, where they feature seasonal libations to make your holiday festive.
Kids can write a letter to Santa in our Old Mill Creamery and drop it in his Special Delivery Mailbox right outside! We’ll make sure he stops by to pick up all his mail just in time for Christmas!
