Grapevine is known as the “Christmas Capi-
tal of Texas,” and for good reason. Grapevine
celebrates the magic and wonder of the
Christmas holiday with more than 1,400 dif-
ferent events that span well over a full
month. Getting started as early as the
Thanksgiving holiday, and running all the
way through the rest of December and into
the New Year, Grapevine has everything win-
ter and Christmas-themed to enjoy. Check
out original life-sized ice sculptures, monu-
ments, and even slides, presented by the
Gaylord Texan Resort. ICE! at Gaylord Texan
puts these creations on display for guests –
which are made from a modest two million
pounds of ice.
The Great Wolf Lodge puts on quite an event
during the holidays, called Snowland. Snow-
land transforms the lodge into a winter para-
dise, with a real-life gingerbread house that
you can enjoy a meal in, as well as tons of
classic and modern decorations, a Santa
Claus visiting station, North Pole inspired ac-
tivities, and so much more. Book a deco-
rated family suite for the entire holiday
season, and receive great rate options, as
well as your own personally-decorated
rooms. You’ll have all of the holiday essen-
tials, like a decorated Christmas tree, gar-
lands, twinkling lights, and even a special
milk-and-cookies visit by a surprise Great
Wolf Kids character.
