The Gaylord Texan is well known for their extravagant Christmas decorations and events. This year, they will be continuing the tradition with Christmas at the Gaylord. The event will feature tons of new and interactive events that are sure to put anyone in the Christmas spirit.

Due to Covid restrictions, the carvers for ICE! were unable to return to the US so the beloved exhibit was postponed. However, the Gaylord Texan has replaced the exhibit with “Mission: Save Christmas Featuring Elf.” Attendees will help Buddy the Elf attempt to gain enough Christmas spirit to fuel the Kringle 3000 and save Christmas. Audience members will have ample opportunities for selfies while going through immersive movie scenes, shoot snowballs, play interactive games, and enjoy a multisensory experience!

Last year the Gaylord filled the ICE! void with “I Love Christmas Movies.” The movie scenes and special effects were great but some visitors felt like they were a bit rushed and that it lacked components to draw in the audience. Luckily, the Gaylord took the critiques and came up with a solution that is sure to please guests. Instead of merely strolling through scenes, visitors will play a pivotal role in them!

Of course, the Gaylord Texan is bringing back other fan favorite events like the snow tubing, gingerbread decorating, themed brunch, and more. Christmas at the Gaylord will run from November 12 – January 2. Fortunately, our readers are able to enjoy the event for a discounted rate with our exclusive code: LIVE.
