A Country Christmas + ICE!

The 43rd annual A Country Christmas at Gaylord Opryland brings the whole family together for a festive season celebration. This sprawling holiday event features acres of illuminated displays and offers more than 17 hours of activities daily. Kids can enjoy ice skating, tubing, bumper cars, and horse-drawn carriage rides, plus meet Santa for photos. The resort also hosts "Pomp, Snow and Cirqueumstance," a cirque-style show running select dates from late November through December. A major highlight is ICE!, a walk-through exhibit with a Home Alone theme where families can explore an elaborate winter wonderland (tickets begin at $24.39). The cirque show tickets start at $44.39, and pricing varies for other attractions. Good news for day visitors: you don't need to be staying overnight at the resort to enjoy these activities. The event runs daily through early January, making it perfect for holiday outings throughout the season.
