0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm chunning Mack with five good news Christmas stories. It's November now. It seems a little less ridiculous that I'm doing Christmas. It'll get less ridiculous as we get closer. Hey, you want to feel old. Gilmore Girls is going to be twenty five years old next year. Yeike, sirright, what does that have to do with Christmas? Well, the fictional hometown of the Gilmour Girls will once again roll out the welcome at to visitors for the holiday season. The Warner Brothers Studio lot in Burbank will celebrate the show ahead of that twenty fifth anniversary with Holidays made here. From December eighteenth through January fifth, The iconic Midwest Street, which has been used in hundreds of TV shows, will become Stars Hollow. You can do a walk through. You'll see Luke's Diner, Deuce's Market, and the Stars Hollow Gazebo, located smack dab in the middle the town square. The facade that served as the home for the Gilmour Girls is decorated for Christmas. The tour will also feature authentic costumes and props from the Gilmore girls, as well as coffee and treats, costume events, cookie decorating stations, and trivia. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey make a cameo in the artwork for the Philadelphia eagles upcoming holiday album, which is called A Philly Special Christmas Party. The first Philly Special Christmas album was released in December of twenty twenty two by The Philly Specials, which was a trio consisting of Offensive linemen Lane Johnson, Jordan Meleda, and Jason Kelcey.

1:38 A second album, A Philly Special Christmas Special, was released in twenty twenty three, while they announced on Instagram that the twenty twenty four record will be A Party and the limited edition vinyl of A Philly Special Christmas Party will come with an eighteen by twenty four collectible poster in the art style of the animated film A Charlie Brown Christmas. The caption reads, drew o to Philadelphia, joy and brotherly love. Can you name everyone who made it to the party. In the poster, you see cartoon versions of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey cuddling together in the background. The Taylor Swift cartoon is wearing a shimmering silver dress, Travis Kelcey wearing Kansas City Chiefs red and gold. Also on the poster flyers mascot Gritty Boys to Men, Stevie Nicks, and basketball player Joel Embiid. Jason Kelsey wrote an original Christmas song for the Eagles holiday album and said the crossover we didn't know we needed coming soon took Christmas Album Near You, the first holiday album A Philly special Christmas raised over one million dollars for local charities. Is Taylor on this one? No, at least not that we know of. Well. Good news if you like the Little Debbies Christmas Tree Cakes that they're out on stores now.

2:49 But even better news they've branched out, introducing Little Debbie Christmas Minie Muffins and Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake Minie Donuts. A spokesperson for Little Debbie said, our Christmas lineup is always a highlight, with each tree crafted to evoke the nostalgia and joy that Little Debbie brings to the season, reinforcing our place at the heart of the holiday celebrations. Fans look forward to Little Debbie Christmas streets all year. In this season, we're delivering even more ways to celebrate with snacks as special as the moments they helped create. The mini doughnuts feature yellow cake wrapped in smooth white frosting, tapped with ribbons of red icing and sprinkled with green sugar crystals. The mini muffins are soft and fluffy with rich buttery vanilla flavor, and feature cheerful red and green inclusions baked into every bite. The BBC knows that you liked that song Last Christmas by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, one of the best known festive tunes of all time. Well, Wham Last Christmas Unwrapped will tell the story of how Wham turned the track into a cultural phenomenon. Wham's Last Christmas is one of the all time songs, gaining four billion audio streams one billion video views. It has reached six times platinum sales in the UK and the US and the number one chart position in sixteen countries. And now that Halloween is over, what's gonna happen to all those spirit Halloween stores? Good news, some of them are converting into Spirit Christmas shops. Now they're only doing ten

4:20 I'll add this year there are eleven hundred Halloween shops they're doing ten Christmas shops. Let's give this a couple of years. The Spirit web page says, discover thousands of stocking stuffers, holiday apparel, fun gifts unique to Core, plus all the special trimmings for creating an unforgettable Christmas. Don't act like if you see one of these you're not going to go in. There's one somewhat near me in Woodbridge, New Jersey. The other locations May's Landing, New Jersey, Brick Township, Albany, Bohemian, Poughkeepsie, New York, Erie Pennsylvania, Waterford, Connecticut, and Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Seems to be a Northeastern thing here. And those are your five good news stories for today. I'll be back on Monday with a normal episode.
