Warner Bros. Makes Gilmore Girls the Star of Its Holiday Event With the New Gilmore Girls Holidays

Grab your coffee and head over to the Warner Bros. Backlot Tour because my favorite Holiday event is back! Stars Hollow is officially taking over the holidays at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood completely.

Formerly known as Holidays Made Here, the event now puts Gilmore Girls front and center, transforming what was once a broader Warner Bros. holiday event into a dedicated celebration of the beloved series. Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood has announced Gilmore Girls Holidays, an all-new evolution of its annual holiday celebration, and perhaps the biggest change is right there in the name. 

For fans returning to Warner Bros. after experiencing Holidays Made Here, this will be its largest Gilmore Girls fan celebration ever!  New locations, interactive experiences, themed food and drinks, exclusive merchandise, and special appearances will be available for fans to explore!

WHAT’S NEW TO GILMORE GIRLS HOLIDAYS?

One of the biggest additions is Luke’s Apartment! The space is recreated inside its original Stage 13 filming location using the original production specifications. Guests can also visit the new Chilton School Graduation Courtyard, inspired by an important moment in Rory Gilmore’s story. The Gilmore Estate is getting an expanded walkthrough, giving visitors even more access to the world of Emily and Richard Gilmore and the Hartford side of Rory’s life.

Then there’s Rory’s Basket Auction, inspired by one of Stars Hollow’s most memorable traditions. The interactive experience brings one of the show’s classic town events into the holiday celebration.

AND WARNER BROS. ISN’T STOPPING THERE!

Naturally, coffee and food are also getting the Stars Hollow treatment. New food offerings include Caesar’s Chilaquiles Nachos, served in a collectible upside-down Luke’s baseball hat, along with a new Gazebo Popcorn Bucket celebrating the center of Stars Hollow’s town square. At Stars Hollow Creamery, fans can order new themed shakes inspired by Rory’s three major boyfriends: Dean, Jess, and Logan. Meanwhile, the Secret Bar will introduce new cocktails including a Tiramisu Martini, an I Smell Snow Peppermint Colada, and Jackson’s Peach Julep.

There will also be plenty to take home. The event is introducing new exclusive merchandise, including a collaboration with Her Universe featuring Gilmore Girls-inspired apparel and accessories. Collectors will also have two new Department 56 miniatures to hunt down: Kim’s Antiques and Miss Patty’s School of Ballet. They join the previously released Lorelai’s House and Luke’s Diner collectibles.

And for fans who want to meet one of Stars Hollow’s most recognizable residents, Scott Patterson, who played Luke Danes, will make special appearances for live podcast events and photo opportunities. Those experiences will be available for an additional purchase.

Additional Stars Hollow experiences and surprises are expected to be announced in the months leading up to the event.

SO, HOW DO YOU GET TICKETS?

Another major change this year is that fans can purchase Gilmore Girls Holidays as a standalone event for the first time. General admission is $79, while a $124 Studio Tour Bundle includes both Gilmore Girls Holidays and the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. That standalone ticket feels particularly fitting for an event that has now made Gilmore Girls its entire identity. 

So, if you’ve ever wanted to spend the holidays in Stars Hollow, surrounded by Luke’s Diner, the Gilmore Estate, the gazebo, Rory’s world, and enough coffee to keep Lorelai Gilmore happy, Warner Bros. is making that the entire point this year.

Gilmore Girls Holidays runs December 12, 2026, through January 3, 2027, and will be closed on Christmas Day. Tickets are on sale now at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood.
