SAN ANTONIO (July 25, 2024) – The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa is excited to announce that tickets are now on sale for the highly anticipated ICE! event featuring Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! This frozen spectacle will make its debut at the resort from November 23, 2024, through January 5, 2025.
ICE! is a cherished holiday tradition created by Gaylord Hotels, showcased nationwide at six locations this Christmas season. Maintained at a brisk 9 degrees Fahrenheit, this winter wonderland will bring the whimsical world of Who-ville to life with life-sized sculptures and walkthrough scenery, meticulously hand-carved from over 2 million pounds of ice.
The event will feature characters from Dr. Seuss’ beloved story, including the Grinch, Max, Cindy-Lou Who, and other festive Whos from Who-ville. Guests can marvel at intricate ice carvings, explore immersive walk-through scenes, slide down two-story ice slides, and enjoy a life-size Nativity scene. Signature blue parkas will be provided to guests to keep them warm while they experience this frosty delight.
