Around the resort are more than 5 million Christmas lights and themed activities sold separately or in bundle passes, including ice tubing lanes, gingerbread decorating, photos with Santa, ice skating, a scavenger hunt and the new holiday cirque show POMP, SNOW & CIRQUEumstance. The season runs November 6, 2026 through January 2, 2027; ice! tickets are timed and sold online, and day visitors can prepay parking. ## Similar picks in Nashville - [Glow Wild Holiday Lights at Nashville Zoo](https://grassyknees.com/nashville/activities/glow-wild-holiday-lights-at-nashville-zoo--listing-665f131e599001205e33a59e) — Nov 13 – Jan 3 · 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM · Nashville Zoo at Grassmere · All ages · From $27 · checked Oct 24.
