Two Disney-owned holiday films are getting new hand-carved ICE! attractions at Gaylord Hotels in 2026.
ICE! featuring Home Alone will run at Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville from Nov. 6, 2026, through Jan. 2, 2027. ICE! featuring Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas will run at Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado, from Nov. 20 through Jan. 3.
Gaylord's walkthrough attractions use more than 2 million pounds of ice carved into scenes from a single film or television special. Each 2026 theme will span more than 10 scenes inside a 9-degree environment, with two-story ice slides and parkas supplied to guests.
Eight ICE! attractions are planned for 2026
The company announced its largest ICE! lineup to date, expanding from six resorts to eight. New installations at Gaylord Pacific in Chula Vista and JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge will feature A Charlie Brown Christmas and Elf, respectively.
The other 2026 themes are Harry Potter at Gaylord Texan, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! at Gaylord National, The Polar Express at Gaylord Palms and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country.
Tickets and early-booking packages went on sale with Thursday's announcement. Prices vary by resort and date.
