Swords On Ice and Dundrum On Ice have officially opened for the festive season.
There's nothing quite like ice skating to get you in the Christmas spirit.
The frosty air of the rink, the distinct sound of skates slicing across the ice, and the festive tunes playing over the speakers create a magical atmosphere. It’s impossible not to feel festive. It’s also the perfect day out for the whole family to enjoy.
Lucky for us all, Swords On Ice and Dundrum On Ice are back for this year's winter season.
So whether it's your first time hitting the ice or you're a seasoned skater, Swords On Ice and Dundrum On Ice are here to help you get in the Christmas spirit.
Not only does Sky provide us with access to epic Christmas movies like The Muppets Christmas Carol, The Snowman, and Elf, but this year they are also the proud sponsor powering these festive family destinations.

While Christmas is often associated with presents and purchasing, at its core this time of year is about spending time with loved ones and making magical memories. What better way to bond than by hitting the rink?
The kids are sure to love it. I still fondly remember the first time I went ice skating with my mam as a child. Ice skating is truly the perfect family activity — one your kids are sure to remember for years to come.
It's also the perfect option for date night, especially for anyone looking to enjoy an evening without the kids. Nothing says romance like a few clumsy, laughter-filled laps around the ice!
After hanging up your skates, why not sip on a hot chocolate as you stroll around Swords Pavilions or Dundrum Town Centre, both located just around the corner from the rink?
The rinks are open from now until January, so there’s loads of time to hit the ice — but why wait? You can grab your tickets today at onice.ie, so make sure you book before slots fill up!
