A Country Christmas + ICE!

This year marks the 43rd celebration of A Country Christmas at Gaylord Opryland, a sprawling holiday event with something for the whole family. The resort transforms into a winter wonderland with twinkling lights spread across acres of grounds. You'll find over 17 hours of activities and entertainment each day, including ice skating, tubing, bumper cars, photos with Santa, and horse-drawn carriage rides. There's also a special cirque performance called "Pomp, Snow and Cirqueumstance" running select days from late November through December 31st. One highlight is ICE!, a walk-through exhibit featuring a "Home Alone" theme that kids find particularly fun. Individual attractions and events have separate ticket pricing, starting at $24.39 for the ice experience and $44.39 for the cirque show. The good news is you don't need to be an overnight guest to enjoy the festivities—day visitors are welcome. The event runs daily, giving your family plenty of chances to visit during the holiday season.
