It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I love the holidays and I love Christmas On The Potomac! Have you done any of the amazing Christmas On The Potomac activities before? This has become one of my family’s favorite traditions. I have 4 can’t miss experiences at the Gaylord National to share with you…
ICE! featuring A Charlie Brown Christmas!
This is the Gaylord National’s signature holiday attraction. This year they brought one of the most beloved Christmas classics to the DC area and created all of your favorite scenes out of ICE! It truly is incredible to see! If you have never been, this is a must holiday attraction. My family loved seeing Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts Gang all in ice form; two million pounds of ice sculptures and displays, that is!
All of your favorite scenes are here and larger than life. My favorite had to be Snoopy’s prize winning dog house and the gang singing carols around the tree! The sculptures are so bright and colorful, my kids were excitedly pointing and taking pictures throughout.
Of course, you can’t go to ICE! without going down the ICE! slides! We sure did!

Cirque Dreams Unwrapped
This Christmas, the Garden Atrium at Gaylord National comes alive with Cirque Dreams Unwrapped. Be dazzled with this spellbinding production of Seasons Dreamings combining breathtaking artistry, music and showmanship from around the world. The entire family can enjoy this uniquely inspired 25-minute Christmas fable performed on our atrium stage and in the air with spectacular costumes and soaring imagination. Don’t miss this new intimate entertainment extravaganza that will have everyone on the edge of their seat and feet! This show is so impressive. We watched with our jaws wide open and our eyes filled with pure wonder!

The Christmas Village
This is where you can decorate a Gingerbread House, have cookies with Mrs. Claus, ice skate and more! The village is beautifully decorated and really gets you in the Christmas spirit. You can do so many fun activities, kiddie rides, shop for gifts, and even enjoy a treat!
Nightly Tree Lighting
The beautiful atrium comes to life with a holiday extravaganza that includes classic Christmas music, laser lights, a dancing fountain and indoor snowfall. This is always a hit, and the perfect way to end your magical day at the Gaylord National.
If you plan to do two or more activities, I definitely recommend a Play and Save package or, better yet, an overnight package! When you bundle, you get even more holiday fun!
Be sure to add a visit to the Gaylord National into your 2018 holiday season. You will be so glad you did. Merry Christmas!
I was provided tickets to ICE! in exchange for my review. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.
