The Gaylord Hotels Original Experience, I Love Christmas Movies™, is making its debut at Gaylord National.

This year visitors can slide, spin, and bump into friends and family in an all-new attraction – Ice Bumper Cars. With millions of sparkling lights adorning the Square, it’s the perfect setting to enjoy holiday magic with loved ones, weather you’re gliding or bumping!
The resort’s rooftop bar, Replay, will feature holiday flair with specially curated Christmas cocktails and unmatched views! Visitors can explore the 19-story, beautifully decorated garden atrium and easy access to the shopping, dining, and holiday attractions throughout National Harbor.
Another favorite is The Greatest Story Stage Show, a complimentary, multicultural, musical celebration of everlasting faith, hope, and love.
