Santa's Claus-et: Gatlinburg's Largest Christmas Store
Family Fun
Rainy Day
Santa's Claus-et keeps the holiday spirit going all year on Gatlinburg's East Parkway. The shop calls itself Gatlinburg's largest Christmas store, and its tagline, Christmas and More, fits: along with trees full of ornaments you will find toys, games, collegiate gear and a well-stocked food counter. It is a relaxed family stop and a good place to pick up a keepsake from a Smokies trip.
Ornaments are the heart of the store, from hand-painted pieces to holiday decor, and personalization is free, so you can add names or a year before you leave. The pantry side offers daily sampling of fruit spreads, jams, salsas, veggie dips, cheese balls, soups and bread, which makes browsing a tasty experience. Santa visits throughout the year, and the store redecorates for each season. It is an easy place to knock out gifts for people back home.
The store is at 1350 East Parkway (US 321 North), across from McDonald's where the Arts and Crafts Community begins, a short drive from downtown Gatlinburg. Unlike downtown shops, it has plenty of free parking. Hours run from 9:30 AM daily, with later closing on Thursday through Saturday and an earlier close on Sunday. Check the website or call before you go if you are hoping to see Santa.
