When actress Elizabeth Banks (left photo)  lit the Lego brick Christmas Tree in Legoland California recently there was a definite excitement in the air. Banks, who is known for her role in “The Hunger Games” and Emmy Nominee in “30 Rock,” has worked in the studio as the voice of “Wyldstyle” in upcoming “The LEGO Movie” being released on February 7, 2014. The first ever Lego movie in 3D is scheduled to appear in theaters around the world.

Back in Carlsbad kids can celebrate Legoland’s Holiday Snow Days and Winter Nights. Fun Town is transformed into a magical, winter wonderland where families throw snowballs at LEGO themed targets and build snowmen using LEGO accessories. Children can also enjoy their first snow-tubing experience gliding down 7-foot tall snow-covered tube runs! Park guests are invited to sing along with holiday entertainment including live music featuring LEGO Friends Live, Jingle Jammers, the Big Test Holiday show and the Holiday Character Dance Party. Holiday Snow Days concludes with San Diego’s biggest Kids’ New Year’s Eve Party on Dec. 31. All Holiday Snow Days and Winter Nights activities are included in the price of LEGOLAND California admission.
