When Gaylord Texan transforms into a magical winter wonderland this Christmas, visitors will be dazzled by breathtaking holiday décor including 1.5 million twinkling lights and 30 seven-foot-tall ornaments strung from the top of its glass roof; a 50-foot-tall rotating Christmas tree; multiple miniature train sets; 14-foot-tall decorated cowboy boots; a life-size gingerbread house; Santa's workshop including a cookie conveyor belt and control station; and dozens of lavish holiday displays including 5,600 feet of garland, 2,300 wreaths, and 10,000 ornaments.

Gaylord Texan will host a variety of amusing entertainers including Santa Claus, Jack Frost, toy soldier stilt walkers, singing cowboys, and balloon artists. And for families who are Grinch fans, the furry green guy himself will host "Breakfast with the Grinch" including memorable photograph opportunities.
