Merry & Light
Brand-new this holiday season, Gaylord Texan will present Merry & Light, a whimsical walk-through outdoor Christmas lights attraction featuring over 400,000 colorful lights, a 40-foot-tall Christmas tree with an animated light show, a North Pole display with real falling snow, an enchanted forest of trees, and a real Mrs. Claus meet and greet. Visitors can enjoy a cup of tasty hot cocoa as they stroll through this enchanting display.
Mission: Save Christmas with Buddy the Elf
(Starting Nov. 19) Christmas is in trouble and Santa needs your help! For the first time this Christmas, journey into Buddy the Elf’s world to help save the holiday in our all-new, multi-sensory experience. (Watch the commercial promo here.) In a dozen interactive challenges to help save Christmas, you’ll team-up with Mr. Narwhal and friends in the candy cane forest, stay ahead of the toy quota in the North Pole, prepare for Santa’s arrival at the iconic department store, and take part in an epic virtual snowball fight in Central Park.
