Featuring How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Gaylord Palms is now running through January 1st. I’ll give you a sneak peek at ICE!

The Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center is only 22 miles from downtown Orlando and is the home to one of Central Florida’s most beloved holiday traditions.

ICE! Featuring How the Grinch Stole Christmas is brought to life by a team of 40 ice artisans who work approximately six weeks to create the nearly 20,000-square-foot, frozen attraction.

Constructed of over 2 million pounds – or 1,000 tons – of colored ice. The entire family will wander through meticulously carved scenes from the beloved Dr. Seuss classic with sculptures that soar 30 feet high.

This year, ICE! will feature more than 10 scenes from “How The Grinch Stole Christmas!” starring classic characters like The Grinch, his canine sidekick Max and Cindy-Lou Who.

The attraction ends just like the story with the Grinch himself carving the roast beast.
