A Holiday Tradition at Gaylord Texan
The Gaylord Texan has built a reputation for delivering immersive holiday experiences that bring joy to families and visitors of all ages. Lone Star Christmas is the resort’s signature event, combining Texas charm with classic Christmas traditions. Each year, the resort is transformed with millions of twinkling lights, festive decorations, and themed activities that capture the spirit of the season.
For 2025, the event expands over 4.5 acres, offering guests a chance to explore a variety of holiday-themed zones. From interactive displays to live entertainment, the Gaylord Texan creates an atmosphere where holiday memories are made.
The ICE! Sculpture Attraction: A Frozen Masterpiece Featuring Scenes from the movie Elf™
One of the standout features of Lone Star Christmas is the ICE! Sculpture Attraction. This unique exhibit showcases incredible ice carvings created by talented artisans from around the world. Visitors walk through a chilly, beautifully lit environment where each sculpture tells a story or depicts a holiday scene.
In 2025, the theme of ICE! is inspired by classic Christmas tales, bringing beloved characters and scenes to life in vibrant ice. The attraction maintains a chilly temperature to preserve the sculptures, so visitors are provided with warm parkas to stay comfortable during their visit.
What to Expect Inside ICE!
Intricate Ice Sculptures: Each piece is hand-carved with remarkable detail, from delicate snowflakes to life-sized holiday figures.
Ice Slides: Fun for all ages, the ice slides add an interactive element to the exhibit.
Themed Storytelling: The sculptures follow a narrative that enhances the holiday spirit and engages visitors.
Photo Opportunities: The glowing ice and colorful lights create perfect backdrops for memorable photos.
