Snow is most definitely a rarity here in Texas (although much of the state does get a nice flurry from time to time!), so having a place where we can pretend that there is a winter wonderland outside makes Christmas so much more enjoyable. This year, consider embracing the season with a visit to one of the most epic festive attractions in the Lone Star State. Snow tubing at Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine features all the wintertime fun you could possibly ask for – and, of course, it’s the best snow tubing hill in Texas.
Visit the Christmas Capital of Texas for an unforgettable holiday season this year:
There are eight lanes to choose from, so pick a spot next to a friend or family member and race each other to the bottom. Last one down gets a lump of coal in their stocking on Christmas morning!

The slides are lined with REAL snow - no fake plastic stuff here. Gaylord Resort wants you to have the most authentic winter wonderland experience possible, and I think it’s safe to say they’ve created just that.

Best Snow Tubing Hill In Texas November 24, 2019 Nikki Rhoades Where else can I go snow tubing in Texas? The Lone Star State may not come to mind when one traditionally thinks of a winter wonderland, but our cooler months are just as magical as in the rest of the nation. Of course, snow tubing in Texas is best enjoyed around the holidays. Six Flags puts on an incredible holiday celebration and snow tubing hill each year. Texas Ski Ranch Snow Park also has their own snow tubing hill worth checking out. However, this wintertime sport is not one of Texas’ most popular. If you want to explore Texan culture, you’ll want to swing by traditional and old-school destinations. Can I go skiing in Texas? Believe it or not, there are fairly few ski resorts in Texas! Texas Ski Ranch is a fan favorite destination, but visitors and locals alike also cherish the opportunity to sled when snow does arrive. Amarillo up in the panhandle of the state receives more snow than most Texan cities – its location is in the path of many storms rolling in from the Rocky Mountains. What is the biggest ski resort in Texas? Texas Ski Ranch spans 70 acres, and it is a haven to lovers of outdoor adventure. In addition to skiing, visitors can also enjoy wakeboarding, paintball, and skating. If you want to spend time in the great outdoors but don’t want to spend money, we recommend exploring a local park. You’ll find that our diverse landscape is beautiful, even in the cooler months. Because of our mild winters, there is no shortage of things to do in winter in Texas. We recommend the Trail of Lights hike in particular, as it brings holiday splendor to an otherwise mundane landscape.
