Gaylord Texan’s Grinch-themed ICE! in Grapevine
Photo by Aubrey Garcia
Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic tale and a fan favorite at the Gaylord Texan. That's why they brought Whoville to life with the help of world-class ice artisans. For two decades, the Gaylord Texan has been showcasing incredible sculptures during their ICE! walk-through attractions. Feel your heart grow three sizes when you see carvings ranging from as small as a coin to over 30 feet tall.

Photo by January Smith
There is no display quite like downtown San Antonio's River Walk around Christmastime. With over 100,000 lights draped over bald cypress trees, the public is invited to stroll the river banks starting at 5:30 PM. You might even get to hear caroling from the boats as they float by! While the holiday lights are free, dine outdoors at a restaurant along the River Walk to get the full experience.
