1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,359
Speaker 1: Guess what time it is.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: We are taking our Southern California sleigh ride a little

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: bit out of town. So you're kind of feeling like

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: seventy seventy five degrees. That doesn't make you feel very christmasy.

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: You can take a ride out to Calabasas. We're at

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: the King Gillette Branch for Holiday Road with us today.

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: We have the event producer, Tyler Mittendorf. Thank you so

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: much for having us out this year.

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming out. We're happy to have you.

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that when you get in here, you

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: really do start to feel like Christmasy.

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: You are surrounded by Christmas.

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: The moment come through the front door, and there's something

14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: to see left, right, top, bottom, It's everywhere.

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: Okay, And the main draw of this is the Christmas Trail,

16
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: the Holiday Trail.

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, right where we are is the Holiday Trail.

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: And this is a mile long, looping trail, thirty plus

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: immersive scenes. Everything is represented of the season. There's millions

20
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: of lights. It really does have something forever.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: Every I love it.

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: And right now we're in the village, which is so adorable. Look,

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: there's a little tavern and a blacksmith, a toy shop

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: of course, of course absolutely. And then I mean it's

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: just like it's just Christmas.

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: I know, I'm with.

27
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: You, and I love I love like the trees that

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: behind us. That's quite a feat because those trees are

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: probably what fifty feet.

30
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: Tall at least.

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, this property just is such gorgeous and its topography

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: and the natural nature that we're surrounded with already, and

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: then we kind of come in and bring a new

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: light and life to it. And these trees top to

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: bottom are covered in lights. Again, as you can see

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: behind us, there's also bigger trees along the trail that

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: really just take your breath away once you see them.

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: Cool and there's some cool arches and it's all just lights,

39
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: and there's snow. And the other thing about coming out

40
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: all the way out to Calabasas is that it's cold

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: out here.

42
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: It can drop.

43
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: We are in the Santa Monica Mountains, so you know,

44
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: once the sun sets, it can get a little chill

45
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: out here. Bring a coat, bring a jacket, and if

46
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: you don't, we obviously have holiday road hoodies as well.

47
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: Got to sneak that in there, absolutely.

48
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: And you can also get warmed up with a little.

49
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: Hot chocolate Oh yes, we have some amazing hot chocolate beverages,

50
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 3: both for kids as well as adults. So everyone's feeling nice,

51
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: warm and toasty when they go out on the truck.

52
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: Okay, and speaking of the adult places, there's.

53
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,440
