On The Scene: Holiday Road Grand Opening

LOS ANGELES (November 14, 2023) – The City of Angels is ablaze with the season’s spirit as LA’s leading immersive holiday event, Holiday Road, opens its doors for the 4th consecutive year. With a star-studded grand opening on November 24, featuring the delightful Eva Longoria and her son, Santiago Enrique Bastón, this year’s festivities promise to be brighter and more enchanting than ever.


Holiday Road, nestled in the picturesque King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas, has become a beloved tradition, drawing over 100,000 people annually. The event boasts a mile-long walking trail that transforms the landscape into a winter wonderland. As you enter the world of Holiday Road, you’re greeted by larger-than-life holiday installations, thousands of twinkling Christmas lights, and the ever-jolly Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The immersive experience includes:

  • Interactive photo moments.
  • A festive souvenir shop.
  • Premium holiday bars.
  • Top-notch food trucks.

Attendees can stroll through themed areas like the North Pole, Elf Village, and Gingerbread Lane, all adorned with impressive light tunnels, Christmas tree forests, and countless candy canes. My favorite part of the mile-long stroll was the fake snow falling from above. It’s a holiday spectacle that captivates both adults and children alike.

This year, Holiday Road has upped the ante with new lantern art and immersive scenes, adding more magic to the experience. As an exciting first, the event has partnered with Amazon MGM Studios for a Candy Cane Lane activation, tying into the release of the holiday comedy film starring Eddie Murphy. Guests can step into the world of the movie, take photos at the Carver’s house, and immerse themselves in the film’s enchanting narrative. Check out the trailer for the film here.

As attendees navigate this winter wonderland, the atmosphere is full of festive magic. It’s a walking celebration of the holidays, a jubilant occasion where families come together to share the joy of the season. With 22+ open dates until the end of the year, Holiday Road invites everyone to join the merriment and create cherished memories in this dazzling LA tradition. Tickets are available now at HolidayRoadUSA.com, ensuring your holiday season is filled with enchantment and wonder.
