Prepare to be amazed! The Gaylord’s soaring glass atrium is transformed into a dazzling winter wonderland, filled with sparkling lights, magnificent decorations, larger-than-life displays, and Christmas magic around every corner.

❄️ DAY TWO — ICE! & NATIONAL HARBOR

Today, step into an incredible frozen wonderland at ICE! featuring Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Bundle up and marvel at millions of pounds of hand-carved ice, transformed into spectacular colorful sculptures and scenes inspired by the beloved Christmas classic. Walk among your favorite characters, admire the incredible artistry, and feel like a kid again as you glide down the famous ice slides!

The holiday fun continues with time to enjoy all the Gaylord has to offer, including its spectacular Christmas displays and festive atmosphere.

You’ll also have free time at National Harbor, where you can browse the waterfront shops, enjoy the restaurants and attractions, do a little Christmas shopping, or simply take in the sights and sounds of this beautiful holiday destination. You can also enjoy a shuttle to MGM Casino and Tanger Outlets
