It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Gaylord Texan Resort as they begin their 16th annual Lone Star Christmas event presented by Pepsi.

Beginning November 15, families can celebrate the best time of the year in the resort’s magical winter wonderland. The decorations throughout the 125-acre property include two million twinkling lights where a 54-foot-tall Christmas tree glitters, over 15,000 ornaments, miniature train sets, two 25-foot tall toy soldiers and so much more!

One of the best parts of Lone Star Christmas is Gaylord Texan Resort’s signature event, ICE!, sponsored by Lexus and DEI. This magnificent event will amaze guests with two-story ice slides and life-size hand-carved ice sculptures all made from two million pounds of ice.

This year’s theme is from the beloved story “A Charlie Brown Christmas” carved into magical holiday scenes created by 40 master artisans from Harbin, China all within a 30-day span. As guests explore this 17,500-square-foot attraction — which also includes an ice bar (ages 21 years and up)—they’ll feel like they’ve arrived to the North Pole.

In addition to ICE!, Gaylord Texan Resort offers other extraordinary holiday activities for the whole family to enjoy. For guests seeking a thrilling experience, there’s a giant eight-lane snow tubing hill made fresh each morning with real snow—two million pounds of it—where kids of all ages can race down in inner tubes. Gaylord Texan even brings ice skating under the Texas sky in a 14,000-square-foot outdoor ice-skating rink.

The little ones get to enjoy story time with Mrs. Claus, as they sit around her comfy home enjoying cookies and milk while she reads a favorite Christmas story. There’s also sticky fun for kids and parents as they have a chance to decorate a tasty gingerbread house with icing, sprinkles, and gum drops galore. Other events include Breakfast with Charlie Brown and Friends, Merry Snoopy Christmas Scavenger Hunt, Santa Snow Throw, a Christmas Carousel, Photos with Santa and so much more!
