ICE At Gaylord Palms


Consider packing gloves, snug socks, and layered attire to improve your comfort during this frosty adventure.

The spirit of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” springs to life within this frozen landscape, featuring beloved Peanuts characters such as Charlie Brown, Lucy, Sally, Linus, Snoopy, and Peppermint Patty. Amid the frozen marvels, you’ll find imaginative ice Christmas trees, including the iconic slender one loved by Charlie Brown.

Every nook of the exhibition indicates interaction and photo opportunities, capturing the essence of the holiday special, complete with its heartwarming tunes and harmonies. Visitors will also encounter icy tunnels, inviting seating zones, and the excitement of two-story ice slides within the extensive 20,000-square-foot showcase.

The Gaylord Palms Has Mastered ICE Over The Years


For years, ICE has been brought to life in Florida through the exceptional craftsmanship of master ice sculptors originating from Harbin, China. Their scrupulous artistry transforms a staggering 6,700 blocks, each weighing a substantial 300 pounds, into intricate holiday scenes and characters, a process spanning approximately five weeks.

Beyond the delightful sculptures inspired by “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” ICE offers patrons ageless Christmas scenes and a captivating Carver’s Showcase, where live ice sculpting demonstrations take center stage.

Yet, ICE only forms a fraction of the holiday charm at Gaylord Palms. The festive lineup extends to encompass Christmas-themed entertainment, family-friendly activities for guests, an engaging escape room, melodious carolers, the creative pursuit of decorating gingerbread houses, the welcoming Bavarian Alpine Village shopping enclave, and the renowned “Cirque: Spirit of Christmas” performance.
