A Country Christmas + ICE!

Ring in the holidays at this 43-year tradition, where your family can explore a winter wonderland across the sprawling Gaylord Opryland resort. Walk through acres decorated with twinkling lights and choose from over 17 hours of activities—ice skating, tubing, Santa photos, and horse-drawn carriage rides are all on the menu. If your kids love "Home Alone," the ICE! exhibit brings the McCallister house to life through hand-carved ice sculptures (tickets from $24.39). For something more theatrical, catch "Pomp, Snow and Cirqueumstance," a cirque-style show running select dates through the end of December (tickets from $44.39). Visiting is flexible: you don't need to be an overnight guest to enjoy the attractions, and pricing varies depending on what you choose to do. On certain dates throughout the season, you can show up anytime without a reservation and explore freely. Peak days and weekends allow daytime arrival before 3 p.m. with evening access included. The celebration runs from early November through early January, giving your family plenty of opportunities to experience this extended holiday celebration.
