If Stars Hollow is your dream holiday destination, you're in luck: Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood is recreating the charming small town from Gilmore Girls this holiday season. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the beloved show, the studio’s annual "Holidays Made Here" event is going to recreate some of the magic that Gilmore Girls is known for—complete with witty banter and endless cups of coffee—in real life.
From December 18, 2025, through January 4, 2026 (excluding Christmas Day), experience the holidays through the eyes of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. There will be twinkling lights, themed treats, festive activities and daily appearances by that hunky slinger of caffeinated beverages: Luke Danes. That's right, Scott Patterson, the actor who played Luke for years, will be on site every single day, greeting fans and serving up the signature Stars Hollow warmth he’s known for.
Things kick off on December 18 with a live afternoon podcast taping of "I Am All In…Again!" Hosted by James Parker-Pettit, the taping will feature Patterson and a surprise guest yet to be announced. You'll hear behind-the-scenes stories, get a chance to ask questions and enjoy a few festive surprises. It's a can't-miss for diehard Gilmore Girls fans.
But the real charm is experiencing Stars Hollow in real life. Midwest Street, the show's filming location, will be transformed into a holiday wonderland of Gilmore goodness. Wander through Lorelai’s house, Luke’s Diner, the Dragonfly Inn and Miss Patty’s School of Ballet, each spot decked out for the holidays.
You'll be able to sample themed treats like candy cane coffee or indulge in even more creative activations: a tea session with Emily Gilmore, a "Friday night dinner" at the Dragonfly Inn, a tree-lighting ceremony and a spectacular light show finale, among other things.
