‘Set-jetting’ trips: How to holiday like the Gilmore Girls in Stars Hollow

From the fictional Connecticut town of Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow to destinations closer to home in Europe, the set-jetting trend continues to turn film and TV locations into travel experiences.

Rather than watching re-runs of your favourite TV show from the sofa this winter, what if you could step onto the set instead?

This is exactly what Gilmore Girls fans could do thanks to a new “holiday” experience launched by Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. Taking place from 12 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 (with the exception of 25 December) fans can swap the living room for the seasonal holiday event.

The new attraction weaves visitors through familiar locations from the show’s fictional Connecticut town of Stars Hollow, transforming Warner Bros.’ Burbank studio into “the most expansive and immersive Gilmore Girls holiday fan experience ever created”.

Visitors will be able to stroll through Lorelai Gilmore’s house and Luke’s Diner, the haunt of the protagonist's on-again, off-again love interest – Luke Danes. Other recognisable settings will include The Dragonfly Inn as well as Miss Patty's School of Ballet.

Iconic storefronts from the show will also house gift shops with collector items, while fan-favourite foods on offer will include Luke’s cold brew, Jojo’s burgers, Caesar’s chilaquiles nachos and Gazebo pretzel.
