The Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville is one of the city’s most iconic hotels. One of the largest in the world, the hotel and convention center draws folks from all over the world, and when it gets close to the holiday season, it gets more visitors than usual. A big part of that is the hotel’s annual Christmas celebration, during which the entire place is decked out in tons and tons of Christmas lights. If you want to get into the holiday spirit this year, take your whole family out to Opryland.
