Rest and meal stops will be made en route to Bristol, VA/TN where you will overnight. Upon arriving enjoy a visit to the Birthplace of Country Music Museum! An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, this museum tells the story of the 1927 Bristol Sessions, explores how evolving sound technology shaped their success, and highlights how this rich musical heritage lives on in today’s music. Referred to by scholars as the "big bang of country music," the Sessions included the first recordings of The Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers and ushered country music into the mainstream.

Enjoy breakfast at the resort this morning before we head out for a day on the town! First up, we'll take a Nashville city tour aboard our motorcoach with our very own singing guide! You'll have the option for lunch on your own at the Opry Mills Mall where you could do a bit of shopping, or back at the resort. Next, enjoy a backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry! Take it all in: the sights, the sounds, and the stories that only happen backstage - before the country music magic happens onstage. Hang out behind the scenes, and get closer to the stars and legends that make music history every week, Live on the Opry. There’s simply nothing else like it. This evening you have a ticket to enjoy the Delta Riverboat that travels down a scenic river winding through Gaylord Opryland Resort's 4.5-acre Delta Atrium and then are at your leisure to have dinner at the resort.

After breakfast at the resort, enjoy ICE! the indoor winter wonderland that showcases larger than life ice sculptures, slides, and tunnels! Next up, enjoy lunch on the General Jackson Showboat! One of the largest showboats ever built, the grand General Jackson is an elegant triumph of American ingenuity. The General Jackson was built by the largest inland shipbuilder in the United States, Jeffboat, and was launched on the Ohio River in Indiana to start the journey to its new home on Nashville’s Cumberland River on April 20, 1985. Enjoy the live entertainment onboard!

Afterwards, visit the Country Music Hall of Fame, and take a guided tour of Studio B - you’ll stand right where Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, and other greats recorded hits, and hear stories and songs born in this historically important studio!

Tonight's dinner will be at Fiddledee Farms for their Christmas Dinner Show. A high energy, entertaining show filled with over 40 familiar Christmas tunes, 12 costume changes, dance and choreography that will make you tired just watching, amazing illusions by award winning magician Bruce Amato, plus creative and hilarious skits. This premier Christmas Dinner Show in Nashville is family friendly and passionately produced to put smile on your face, a song on your lips, and the spirit of Christmas in your heart.
