Fans who have watched teams desperately searching for Travelocity gnomes on past seasons of the television series "The Amazing Race" can finally give it a try! 

Gaylord Palms Resort has teamed with Travelocity to offer the Hidden Holiday Gnome Hunt, beginning Nov. 18. The new holiday activity will take participants throughout the resort’s 4.5-acre glass-covered atrium to search for 20 cleverly hidden statues of the Travelocity Roaming Gnome.  One participant will win a 7-day 6-night Alaskan cruise for two, compliments of Travelocity.

The activity brings a holiday tradition to Florida from across the world.  In many Scandinavian countries, it is believed that a holiday gnome lives hidden under your house.  Around Christmas, he emerges carrying a sack full of presents over his shoulder.

Meanwhile, in the past few days, there has been much ado over at Travelocity in regard to the gnome.  Apparently he has come up missing in their television commercials.  Check out the latest here.
