Posted on November 16, 2012

Nashville’s iconic Gaylord Opryland Resort kicked off its 29th annual A Country Christmas last night in a festive lighting ceremony to officially turn on the resort’s 2 million holiday lights and usher in the holiday season.

Guests will experience America’s favorite Christmas destination like never before as the 2,881-room resort welcomes new holiday entertainment and perennial favorites. Presented by Kodak, A Country Christmas runs Nov. 15, 2012 through Jan. 1, 2013 and includes Lorrie Morgan’s Enchanted Christmas Dinner & Show, The Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes, ICE! featuring DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek the Halls, Holly Jolly Town Square, Treasures for the Holidays craft show, and, 2 million twinkling lights and more.

A Country Christmas has been hailed as one of the “Ten Great Places to Catch up with Santa” by USA Today; “The Most Christmassy Hotel in the Nation” by the Travel Channel’s Extreme Christmas; one of the top 10 places to spend Christmas in the world by Travel & Leisure; and a “Nashville treasure” by Southern Living.

“With more than two million twinkling lights and acres of stunning decorations that attract visitors from all over the world, there’s no better place to celebrate the season,” said Gaylord Opryland General Manager Pete Weien. “And, of course, it wouldn’t be Music City, USA, without amazing live shows and entertainment.”
