Gaylord Texan Resort is bringing back their longtime holiday tradition, ICE! this Christmas after taking a two-year hiatus during the pandemic. From Nov. 11 through Jan. 1, 2023, guests attending ICE! will be thrust into the holiday classic "The Polar Express," brought to life by a 17,000-square-foot frozen attraction. The process begins with more than two million pounds of ice carved by a team of 40 artisans over 12,000 man-hours. Following a 300-page design book, the artisans will create carvings that range in size from tiny details to others that are 30 feet tall.
