Nightmare Before Christmas joins ICE! at Gaylord Palms
"ICE!" is an annual Christmas display held during November and December at Gaylord Hotels across the United States. The displays are, as the name suggests, completely made from ice and carved by professional ice carvers from China. The displays have been themed to multiple famous Christmas specials and films including the Polar Express, Frosty the Snowman, a Charlie Brown Christmas, and even Shrek the Halls. Starting this year, three new themes will debut at Gaylord hotels across the country, one of which being the Nightmare Before Christmas. The other two new themes are Home Alone, which is also owned by Disney, and Harry Potter. The Nightmare Before Christmas display will be held at the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado. from Nov. 20, 2026 to Jan. 3, 2027.
