We promise you'll have fun! Drag out that old holiday sweater you never wear for the "Worst Holiday Sweater" contest and compete for a chance to win a growler of your choice full of one of the Nanta Claus brews and a $50 gift certificate. Nanta Claus beers will be tapped at 7pm and we promise you they're incredibly yummy. But, of course, the real reason for this get together is the children of Swain County - please bring an unwrapped new toy to the benefit and provide Christmas to a child that might not have one otherwise. See you there and Merry Nanta Claus!

Seven days of holiday festivities, sumptuous feasts, tree trimmings, music and more. Special guest appearance by Santa Claus for the children. Fontana Village Resort.

Live entertainment. A New Years Eve Gala and Dinner Party followed by fireworks at midnight. Ring in the New Year in the Smokies! Fontana Village Resort, 800-849-2258
