A Smoky Mountain Christmas (1986)

Dolly the songbird takes herself and her gravity defying assets and hides out in the woods. Things get as silly as the title suggests and it morphs into a kind of Snow White and the Seven Kids scenario, with a real evil witch in the mix. Lee ‘Fall Guy’ Majors rides up on his horse and assumes a handsome Prince role.
I’ll never live this down but I rather enjoyed all the nonsense. Dolly sings some Xmas songs and life goes on as the credits roll. The film equivalent of pocket fluff, it’s inoffensive and throwaway.
