The Ingles Open Road visits Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland

I’m Chris Bainbridge… and I love the Carolinas. This is an amazing place to find adventure in all shapes and sizes – even in our changing world. Ingles has sent me on a mission to bring you the very best of what our beautiful home has to offer – food, fun, nature music, and more… all affordable, and all out of the ordinary. This is The Ingles Open Road.

What do Christmas and baseball have in common? Well, as a Cubs fan, the parent team of the Tennessee Smokies, I can tell you there’s faith in the improbable and even the impossible. As a Field of Dreams fan, I can tell you there’s magic, whether on the diamond or at the North Pole. And both Christmas and baseball make you feel like a kid again. But perhaps the biggest commonality tonight is Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland – because we’re here in Sevierville, Tennessee at Smokies Stadium for some big-league Christmas lights.

Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland’s mission is simple… spread some holiday cheer. And boy do they deliver. Even after Christmas they’re still going strong all the way into early January. You can catch Shadrack’s right here in Sevierville, but also in Jackson and Johnson City, Tennessee… and in Charlotte and Tryon, North Carolina. And in Pittsburgh if you find yourself heading north this holiday season.

So, folks I’m a huge fan of Christmas Vacation. And if you get the reference this place has a little bit more than 25,000 imported Italian twinkle lights. And I can assure you… the little lights ARE twinkling. And strobing. And jumping. And changing colors. And – you know what, just come see for yourself.

This is a little more than Clark up on the roof blinding Todd and Margo. This is hundreds of thousands of lights. All tediously programed and positioned and even set to music to give you a show you can’t get anywhere else. You can program your car stereo to a custom radio station and see just how choreographed all of this exterior illumination really is.

Driving through here you’ve got your head on a swivel. Because this light show is all around you.

Your ticket is good for everyone in your vehicle up to 8 people, so this is a great activity to do with those Cousin Eddies in your Christmas who have basically set up camp at your house. It really is a joy for all ages – for kids from one to ninety-two.

Ingles is proud to present this spectacular show again this year. You can get more info and your tickets online at ShadracksChristmas.com. So, keep that holiday spirit alive just a little bit longer… and head to Shadrack’s for a truly magical Christmas wonderland. Your weekend is waiting… on the Ingles Open Road.
