The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa is thrilled to announce tickets are now on sale for ICE! featuring Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. The frozen attraction will be making its debut at the Resort from Nov. 23, 2024, through Jan. 5, 2025. The holiday tradition of ICE!, created by Gaylord Hotels, will be featured nationwide across six locations this Christmas season. Kept at a frosty 9 degrees Fahrenheit, the winter wonderland experience will bring to life the whimsical world of Who-ville in the form of life-sized sculptures and walkthrough scenery hand-carved from more than 2 million pounds of ice. ICE! featuring Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! will be part of the resort’s annual Hill Country Christmas celebrations and will be open to resort guests and the public. Tickets and special room packages for ICE! are now on sale and available at www.JWHillCountryChristmas.com.

 

A team of 40 master artisans will travel nearly 7,000 miles from Harbin, China to San Antonio, Texas and dedicate 30 days to crafting the ICE! experience from 6,700 massive blocks of ice using skills passed down through generations. The attraction will span nearly 20,000 square feet with carvings ranging from intricate details to towering scenes over 30 feet high. Life-size ice sculptures, immersive walk-through scenes, two-story ice slides, a life-size Nativity scene, and photo-worthy moments will be featured. Characters from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! will be depicted like the Grinch, Max, Cindy-Lou Who, and other festive Whos from Who-ville. A state-of-the-art chilling system will maintain the festive attraction, and to stay warm, guests will be provided with signature blue parkas to wear while enjoying the experience.  

 

Beginning Nov. 23, 2024, through Jan. 5, 2025, the resort’s Exhibit Ballroom will completely transform into “Reindeer Ridge,” featuring 40,000 square feet of beloved Hill Country Christmas activities. Returning activities include Snow Flow Mountain, a multi-lane tubing hill made of real snow and providing hours of alpine fun for all ages; and Snowball Build & Blast, an interactive game where guests can make and throw snowballs to score points, boosting the power of the snow-making machine. Mrs. Claus’ Christmas Traditions hosted by Mrs. Claus will also return and include a retelling of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” and a sing-along of holiday carols, complete with Santa’s favorite cookies and milk. Guests will be able to decorate gingerbread houses with sweets and treats at the Gingerbread Decorating Corner with an opportunity to meet Nutmeg the gingerbread man.

Visit Build-A-Bear® to experience the fun of personalizing furry friends and taking part in our one-of-a-kind Heart Ceremony. Add adorable outfits, sweet scents and fun sounds to make any furry friend the perfect gift or a cuddly Christmas keepsake! The Resort will also debut a new holiday scavenger hunt, “The Grinch’s Wonderful Awful Idea Scavenger Hunt” which will send guests searching for hidden clues of the Grinch’s mischievous plan to ruin the holiday. Guests will be able to find clues and solve riddles to help save the joy of the season and receive a special stocking stuffer when they complete their quest.  

 

Other traditional favorites at Hill Country Christmas include the Shine Light Show, a nightly display of thousands of dancing lights synchronized to holiday music. The Polar Plunge will be available in several pools for those wanting a chilly challenge, along with visits from Santa’s live reindeer. Guests can indulge in holiday treats at the festive s’mores station and write letters to Santa to share Christmas wishes.

Kitchen Design Concepts, a Dallas-based design and remodeling company located in the Design District, recently completed a kitchen remodel that features current design trends with a focus on functionality for the homeowner. 

The client was looking for a refreshed, updated kitchen area to enhance her enjoyment of her older home without the need for a complete tear down. By removing two closets, enlarging the laundry room and changing the footprint of the space, Kitchen Design Concepts was able to give her exactly what she desired while maximizing every inch of the area to ensure functionality. 

The kitchen design features sophisticated tuxedo style cabinets, with elegant white cabinets on top and white oak cabinets with a finish of straw stain below to add contrast, complemented by a set of floating shelves and honey bronze hardware to add a unique touch. The Casablanca Zellige tile backsplash brings a textured and sophisticated element to the kitchen. The laundry room features a patterned ceramic tile floor and beautiful green backsplash to add a pop of color to the newly refreshed space. 

This thoughtful renovation also includes an updated bar area, where the original 1930s cedar wood was carefully preserved. The cedar wood has been painted over, maintaining its historic charm while providing a fresh and updated look to match the contemporary design. This blend of old and new elements creates a unique and inviting space for entertaining. 

With the holiday season quickly approaching, now is the ideal time to start a kitchen remodel. Craft a space that perfectly balances functionality and style, ensuring you are all set to host unforgettable holiday parties and family gatherings, making the busy holiday season a breeze.
