Aurora’s Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan stop is scheduled for Dec. 28–31, 2026, at Gaylord Rockies Resort, with the complimentary event running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, according to the resort’s holiday site. That makes the caravan a four-day option late in the resort’s holiday season.
The event announcement describes interactive activities, product samples, gifts and opportunities to take photos with the Coca-Cola Polar Bear at the Aurora stop, according to the companies’ release. The announcement calls the caravan event complimentary; it does not say that the stop includes admission to the resort’s separate ICE! attraction.
The visit falls within Christmas at Gaylord Rockies, which is scheduled to run Nov. 20, 2026, through Jan. 3, 2027, with ICE! themed around Disney’s Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, according to the resort’s seasonal site. The caravan is one part of that longer program, rather than the opening or closing of the season.
A Coca-Cola Christmas suite package is another separate seasonal offering: the release says it includes a keepsake, in-room Coca-Cola products, four ICE! tickets and holiday treats, and is available at Gaylord Hotels properties and two participating JW Marriott resorts. The package’s listed tickets are distinct from the complimentary caravan event, according to the release.
A seasonal program that changes by year
The 2026 lineup is not the resort’s only documented combination of ICE! and other holiday activities. For its distinct Nov. 24, 2025–Jan. 2, 2026 season, Gaylord Hotels announced ICE! alongside new snow tubing, an ice-puck challenge and seasonal dining, according to its 2025 season announcement. That earlier season is a useful example of the resort’s broader holiday format, but one comparison does not establish a year-over-year trend.
