Hold onto your cowboy hats and jingle bells! St. Nicky’s, Nashville’s beloved holiday pop-up, known for its extravagant décor and full-throttle Christmas cheer, is back for 2025 with a brand-new theme: “Smoky Mountain Christmas.” Opening November 25th, and inspired by the festive warmth of Dolly Parton’s iconic holiday specials, this year’s celebration will blend Southern charm, woodland whimsy, and plenty of sparkle.
The space will be transformed into a cozy Appalachian dreamscape filled with twinkling lights, forest creatures, snow-dusted evergreens, and rustic holiday touches reminiscent of a cabin deep in the Smokies. Expect a nostalgic trip back to the holiday specials you grew up watching—complete with a country twist.
What’s New & Returning in 2025:
Full Table Service: Nicky’s Coal Fired will return to full service during the pop-up this year, and guests can expect sit-down dining all season long. There will be no reservations, and seating is first-come, first-served.
