An iconic holiday character is flying back to San Antonio's coolest event. Ice!, an immersive holiday experience featuring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, will return to the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort Spa in late November."Having welcomed tens of millions of guests over the years,
this beloved holiday tradition continues to capture the spirit of the season, and we are proud to introduce our largest footprint to date, giving even more families the opportunity to experience how our resorts create extraordinary holiday memories," said Johann Krieger, regional vice president of Marriott International, in a release.Master artisans from Harbin, China will carve two million pounds of ice into 10 holiday scenes pulled from the 1964 stop-motion animated film Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
