Starting in November, ICE! is available at all five Gaylord Hotels resorts: Gaylord Opryland in Tennessee, Gaylord Texan in Texas, Gaylord Palms in Florida, Gaylord Rockies in Colorado, and Gaylord National in Maryland. More than 2 million pounds of ice at each resort transform into holiday displays of classic Christmas tales. This year’s displays feature The Polar Express at Gaylord Opryland, A Charlie Brown Christmas at Gaylord Palms, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas at Gaylord Texan, A Christmas Story at Gaylord Rockies, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer at Gaylord National.
Each resort hosts a variety of holiday-themed programming and activities, including an original Cirque-style live show, seasonal pop-up dining concepts, ice skating, light shows, gingerbread decorating, winter-themed wellness experiences and more. New for 2023, guests of Gaylord Opryland may take in the Christmas in Tennessee dinner show.
