Ride through Cookeville’s best holiday displays in a heated, 8‑passenger RoadStallion—hot cocoa, blankets, and curated stops at Hidden Hollow Park, Dogwood Park, Tennessee Tech, and the historic Depot Museum. Expect a relaxed 3.5‑hour evening with photo opportunities and limited walking.

The RoadStallion idles, heaters whispering, as steam rises from a cup of hot cocoa and the town’s lights begin to breathe. Through panoramic windows, strings of LEDs shift in time with distant carols; the vehicle glides into Hidden Hollow Park and the synchronized displays and speakers fill the night like a traveling orchestra. Later, Dogwood Park’s nearly 40-foot Christmas tree cycles through patterns that seem to wave at the passing van, and the RoadStallion’s blankets make the hour between stops feel short.
