A frozen world is coming to the desert this holiday season! JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa is thrilled to announce the resort debut of ice!™ featuring *Elf*™. The signature frozen Christmas attraction will anchor the resort’s lineup of Christmas activities, running from Nov. 18 to Jan. 3, 2027. Beginning today, guests can book special early bird packages or purchase tickets by visiting jingleatjwdesertridge.com.

The story-driven Christmas experience features more than two million pounds of hand-carved ice sculptures brought to life as vivid, floor-to-ceiling scenes starring fan-favorite characters from New Line Cinema’s *Elf*™. Inspired by the world-renowned Harbin Ice Festival in China, ice!™ is created by more than 40 expert artisans from Harbin, who spend approximately 40 days using techniques passed down through generations to hand carve 7,000 ice blocks. Beginning this October, these sculptors will arrive at the resort to start the monumental task of shaping our winter wonderland display.

The exclusive theme unfolds across more than 10 immersive scenes in the 17,500-square-foot experience featuring two-story ice slides, famous scenes and characters from Buddy’s world, a  
life-size Nativity scene, awe-inspiring passageways, and photo-worthy moments the entire family can experience. Kept at a brisk nine degrees Fahrenheit to preserve the intricate detail,  
the attraction ensures guests stay warm in its signature blue parkas. Beyond the marquee attraction, ice! featuring ElfTM, guests can enjoy Jingle at JW Desert Ridge with an over-the-top lineup of classic and original experiences designed to create the ultimate holiday getaway. JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa transforms into a true winter wonderland with millions of twinkling lights, towering Christmas trees, and elaborate festive décor.
