Celebrate Christmas 2016 with the Peanuts Gang in Ice at Gaylord Palms Resort

The Peanuts gang is coming to Gaylord Palms Resort for Christmas 2016.

Reserve a holiday moment to witness Charlie Brown and his friends in a dazzling, hand‑carved ice spectacle that brings the beloved animated classic to life. This year, ICE! celebrates its 10‑year anniversary by adding fresh, never‑before‑seen features, ensuring an unforgettable tradition for families and friends.

ICE! Featuring A Charlie Brown Christmas

ICE! is renowned for its stunning ice sculptures and glittering winter displays. In 2016, the Peanuts gang are showcased using 2 million pounds of meticulously hand‑carved ice, a record for the resort’s holiday season.

Marvel at iconic scenes: the holiday play rehearsal, Snoopy’s ornately decorated doghouse, and Charlie Brown’s quest for the perfect Christmas tree. Visitors can also glide down one of four ice slides, each surrounded by the Peanuts characters—an experience best captured with a GoPro for a memorable video to share online.
