What To Expect - FAQs

When will ICE! return?

Due to current restrictions on international travel which impacts our artisans, ICE! will not be offered this 2021 holiday season at any Gaylord Hotel. Our plan is to bring our iconic ICE! event back to our Christmas program as soon as international travel policies allow. In the interim, we are excited to debut an all-new Gaylord Hotels Original Experience featuring ELF this season.

Am I allowed to take photos?
