From Travel Awaits Magazine comes a list of 11 Tennessee towns that will make you feel like you’re in a Hallmark movie. Among the 11 is Union City, which the magazine lauds for its ‘quaint’ downtown and the thousands of Christmas lights at the ongoing ‘Let It Glow’ Christmas show at Discovery Park of America.
The other Tennessee towns listed are: Collierville, Jonesborogh, Franklin, Knoxville, Sewanee, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Gatlinburg, Rugby and Bristol.
According to the magazine: “There are many towns in Tennessee with enough holiday spirit they could easily be the perfect setting for a Hallmark movie. In fact, Hallmark agrees, Memphis was the setting for Christmas in Graceland in 2018 and the sequel Wedding at Graceland. In 2019, Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holidays was filmed there.
“Let’s look at a few other towns in Tennessee where you can visit and enjoy their Southern hospitality and Hallmark movie atmosphere. You, too, can enjoy a tender Tennessee Christmas.
“Located in northwest Tennessee, Union City has a quaint downtown decorated with festive lights, and in town, it has Discovery Park America. It is an incredible museum by day but when the sun goes down, the Let It Glow light show begins with over one million synchronized lights sparkling to Christmas songs. The entire 50 acres for the heritage park provide a drive-thru light show.”
