Hey All!
It’s that time of year again, It’s Grinchmas time at Universal Studios Hollywood! I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch of this spectacular event yesterday and it was truly a site to see as it is every year. Oh how I love this time of year.
The stage was set and once the sun set the Holiday fun began! I love how Universal decorates for the holidays! It’s so beautiful!
The stars came out to help L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, The Grinch and Max the Dog L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti light the amazing whoville tree! Hollywood’s Who’s Who—Alexa PenaVega (“Nashville,” “Spy Kids”), Carlos PenaVega (“Big Time Rush,” “The Penguins of Madagascar”), and Yvette
Nicole Brown (“Community,” “Family Guy” and the upcoming TV series “Odd Couple”); as well as 200 LAUSD children were also in attendance.
The Grinch was super excited and of course very excited to kick off Grinchmas! It is after all named after him.
The Grinch, Max the Dog, Martha May Whovier, Whoville Mayor Augustus MayWho, Cindy LouWho and the entire town of Whoville came out to celebrate as well.
It was such a fun and colorful event to say the least.
When the tree was lit it was truly a sight to see. The Fireworks that shot into the sky were absolutely breathtaking.
I mean how awesome are these photos! These are honestly un-edited photos. Mayor Garcetti presented the esteemed Whoville Mayor Augustus MayWho with the first-ever “Grinchmas” Mayoral Proclamation that he read in Seussian rhyme.
As part of the event, Martha May Whovier and the Who Dolls will took center stage by the “Grinchmas” tree, performing energetic musical sets to usher in the Christmas season in style. The Wholiday Singers—a hip boy-band ensemble- also performed a melodic an cappella rendition of Christmas and pop rock favorites. There was also glittery snowfall and a dazzling display of fireworks
The tree has a magical life of it’s own. It changes color and snowflakes project onto it.
It’s truly a sight to see when you see the tree turn from blue…
To Pink…
To red and white striped to name just a few of the amazing changes the tree does to transform itself.
Check out this video and all my pics from the event on Instagram:
