Gaylord National Harbor is home to the annual holiday celebration, Christmas at Gaylord National. We seem to have turned this into an annual tradition for our family, and this year was no different. After hosting no holiday events in 2020, I was so happy to be back this year as their guest for a little Holiday cheer to kick off the season.

We had so much fun spinning, and bumping into one another along the banks of the Potomac! Be sure to do this at night, as the Harbor is beautiful lit up.

If you want to try out your skills on skates, you can glide along with family and friends as well.

Tip: Be sure to pack hats, gloves, & scarves as both activities take place outside.

5. Snowball build and blast

Build and toss real snowballs to boost the power of the snowmaking machines and earn points in this experience at Snow Factory, the mechanized, snowy play space. My kids got super competitive over this one!

6. I Love Christmas Movies!

Oh my gosh this was my absolute favorite!! I am a sucker for all five of the featured films, and it felt like we got to go behind the scenes and walk through them. Experience favorite scenes from five beloved films, including: The Polar Express™, Elf™, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation™, A Christmas Story™, and The Year Without A Santa Claus™. Around every bend is a magical scene from each film.

We walked thru the Candy candy cane forest, met Heat Miser and lit up the Griswold’s house! If you love these classic movies, this is a must do event.

When the sun goes down and the atrium lights up be sure not to miss #LIT Light Show With laser lights, indoor snow and holiday music, it will certainly get you in the spirit of the season.
