Time Out says

If you’ll follow wherever Gilmore Girls leads, then you’re going to need to embark on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour this holiday season. For the final couple weeks of the year, the Burbank backlot is again supplementing its regular tour with the “Holidays Made Here” addition, which decks out the Stars Hollow section in festive decor, including the gazebo and Luke’s Diner, where you can sip coffee or cocoa from “Luke” actor Scott Patterson’s own brand—oh, and did we mention Patterson himself will be appearing in person each afternoon?

In honor of the show’s 25th anniversary this year, this year’s event is bigger and better than ever. The studio has kicked things up a notch with new re-created sets, merch, a food passport add-on option and a nightly holiday light show. Miss Patty’s School of Ballet—where those famed town meetings took place—has been rebuilt, and a string of new storefronts and dining spots are open to explore, shop at and dine inside. Get a banana split or “boyfriend shake” (team Jess all the way) at Taylor’s Olde Fashioned Soda Shoppe; pick up some more sweet treats at Weston Bakery; shop sweaters emblazoned with quotes of dialogue at the new knitting shop; and step into an old-school video shop with Rory’s photo in the window as “citizen of the month.”

Holidays Made Here runs as part of all studio tours from December 18, 2025, to January 4, 2026 (it’s closed on Christmas Day). There’s also an event-only ticket option this year; while it’s the same price ($76), it means you can hang out in Stars Hollow all day.
