Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine is unveiling its full lineup of Christmas programming to be featured between November 12 and January 2 as part of its 18th annual Lone Star Christmas event.
Visitors can pre-purchase individual event tickets and room reservations in anticipation of the holiday season.
This year, the ice carvers were unable to come due to international travel restrictions, so the Gaylord Texan said ICE! will return next holiday season.
According to Gaylord Texan, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment, guests will join Buddy the Elf as he helps save the holiday in a multisensory experience full of interactive challenges perfect for all ages.
