Maximize your time in your destinations and do the most direct route to Nashville. Take into account that it gets dark by 5pm in December. Yogi Bear is a nice park to stay in. We have stayed there a few times. Not sure that taking the C into the city is a good idea though. Christmas is a busy time in both Nashville and Pigeon Forge and traffic can be heavy. Most things to see there are within a good walking distance. Maybe rent a car or van for the day?
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are all decked out for Christmas for sure. We live near by and play tourist ourselves during the holidays. Lots to do, lots of dinner shows, always Dollywood to do which goes all out for Christmas but it's pricey. Pine mountain is a good option to stay at because the Mianstay Suites allows you to use their indoor pool, same owners of the RV park and hotel.
Best route is straight down 40 through Knoxville to exit 407. Weather should be good yet at that time but you never know. We don't get terrible winters here and snow usually stays in the mountains for the most part. Again you may want to rent a van to get around instead of taking the C everywhere.
