If youâre looking for Christmas magic in Colorado, is where it lives. đ
From the Arapahoe Springs Water Park with holiday-themed games to festive dĂŠcor, indoor snow tubing, and seasonal experiences at every turn, we turned our weekend at Ga***rd Rockies into a full-blown Christmas adventure.
Our annual holiday staycation here is hands down one of our familyâs favorite traditionsâwe look forward to it every year, and you can probably see why.
This yearâs festivities were all Grinch-themed, which made it extra magical since itâs my boysâ favorite Christmas movieâadding the perfect sprinkle of cheer to an already unforgettable stay. đ
Here are just a few of the experiences that bring the holiday magic to life:
⨠Gingerbread Mountain Cabin
A massive 12-foot-tall gingerbread cabin handcrafted with over 2,000 pounds of sweet holiday goodness. A total showstopper.
⨠Mistletoe Village
Is the heart of Christmas at Ga***rd Rockiesâwhere the entire village turns into a winter wonderland with Gingerbread Decorating, Elf Training Academy, Build-A-Bear, ICE!, and more
