‘A Charlie Brown Christmas' ICE! Exhibit Opens at Gaylord Texan Resort

The event is open until January 5, 2020

The Gaylord Texan Resort's 16th annual "Lone Star Christmas" is officially underway in Grapevine.

That means the very popular ICE! exhibit is now open, too.

ICE! is a magical walk-through holiday exhibit featuring 2 million pounds of hand-carved ice sculptures that tell the tale of the beloved holiday classic, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" by Charles Schultz.

Each piece is carefully hand-sculpted by artisans from Harbin, China. They recently traveled to North Texas, where they spent 30 days carving the merry masterpieces. 

The display also includes a majestic, life-size Nativity scene in crystal clear ice, six ice slides, an 8-lane snow tubing hill covered in 2 million pounds of real snow and an ice bar for those 21 and up.[[563784122,C]] 

The resort's "Lone Star Christmas" also features 2 million twinkling lights, larger-than-life decorations and even breakfast with Charlie Brown and friends.  

The Texas-sized decor is so extravagant, we've broken it down by the numbers: 

  • 2 million holiday lights decorating the resort’s indoor atriums
  • 2 million pounds of hand-carved ice for ICE! featuring "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
  • 2 million pounds of real Texas snow for a two-story tall, 8-lane snow tubing hill
