Warner Bros. Studios is bringing an expanded "Gilmore Girls" fan experience to Hollywood this holiday season, transforming its annual "Holidays Made Here" event into "Gilmore Girls Holidays." For the first time, the popular show will be the exclusive focus of a standalone ticketed event, running from December 12, 2026, through January 3, 2027. This marks the largest "Gilmore Girls" experience the studio has offered, promising an immersive visit to the world of Stars Hollow for devoted fans.
The expanded backlot footprint will feature several meticulously recreated sets and experiences inspired by memorable scenes from the series. Attendees will have the opportunity to step inside Luke’s apartment, which Warner Bros. Studios has painstakingly recreated on its original Stage 13 filming location, using the actual production specifications from the show. Beyond Luke's, fans can explore the Chilton Graduation Courtyard, walk through an expanded version of the Hartford Gilmore Estate, and participate in an interactive, holiday-themed take on Rory’s Bid on a Basket Auction.
No visit to Stars Hollow would be complete without a nod to the show's distinctive food culture, and "Gilmore Girls Holidays" aims to deliver. The event's menu will feature a range of treats directly inspired by the series. Among the offerings are Caesar’s Chilaquiles Nachos, which will be served in a collectible, upside-down Luke’s baseball cap. The Stars Hollow Creamery will serve custom shakes, each dedicated to one of Rory’s boyfriends. For those seeking a stronger beverage, a Secret Bar will offer themed cocktails, including an "I Smell Snow" peppermint colada, a tiramisu martini, and Jackson’s peach julep. A collectible Gazebo Popcorn Bucket is also planned, designed to be a standout snack.
Beyond the immersive sets and unique culinary offerings, fans can find a range of merchandise and special events. Limited-edition Her Universe apparel will be available, alongside new Department 56 miniatures depicting iconic Stars Hollow locations like Kim’s Antiques and Miss Patty’s. For a direct connection to the show, attendees may also catch a live podcast taping and photo opportunity with Scott Patterson, who played Luke Danes in the series.
Tickets for "Gilmore Girls Holidays" are currently available. Standalone general admission begins at $79. For those interested in a more comprehensive experience, a $124 bundle ticket includes access to the full Warner Bros. Studio Tour, in addition to the special "Gilmore Girls" event. The studio encourages fans to prepare for the festive event in Hollywood this coming holiday season.
