Gaylord Hotels Might Have the Best Christmas Stays in the US 🎄✨

Pirates, Gaylord Hotels don’t so much decorate for Christmas as turn their resorts into Christmas theme parks with hotel rooms attached. The centerpiece is ICE!, where master ice carvers transform around 2 million pounds of ice into massive walkthrough worlds kept at just 9°F. Don’t worry, they give you a jacket.

Each resort has its own theme: Home Alone in Nashville, The Polar Express in Orlando, The Nightmare Before Christmas in Colorado, The Grinch near Washington, DC, and A Charlie Brown Christmas at the new Gaylord Pacific in San Diego. And ICE! is really just the beginning, with Christmas activities taking over the resorts throughout the holiday season.

🏴‍☠️ Pirate Tip: Look for packages that include ICE! Admission and other Christmas activities. Buying everything separately can add up quickly, especially for families.
