National Harbor, the 300-acre waterfront development near Washington, DC, hosts holiday events along the Potomac River including a Christmas tree lighting, outdoor market and even a water skiing Santa Claus. The Gaylord National Resort is full of Christmas decorations including a 65-foot tall Christmas tree made of synthetic “candy” glass, sparkling icicles lighting up the 20-story atrium, a miniature Potomac Express Train Village and the Gaylord National Resort's ICE holiday attraction. It's a winter wonderland created entirely of 5,000 BLOCKS of ice weighing 2 million pounds.

It’s always 72 degrees in the Gaylord atrium, but you won’t believe your eyes as it snows inside! They do it twice a night.
Also, every night, the atrium comes to life with a display featuring Christmas music, a light show, and a dancing fountain that shoots 60-feet high! It begins nightly at 6pm.
