VIDEO: With movie magic, B.C. backlot transforms into Christmas wonderland

Martini Town Merry and Bright event will be open Wednesdays to Sundays until Jan. 1

An estimated 3,200 people bought tickets for the first weekend (Friday, Dec. 1 to Sun day, Dec. 2) of the “Martini Town Merry & Bright” Christmas event that has applied movie magic to the Aldergrove standing outdoor sets, transforming them into what Martini Film Studios CEO Gemma Martini described as a “winter wonderland.”

Following a preview on Wednesday, Nov. 29, Martini said some adjustments were made to shorten lineups at the cafe, as well add lighting and signs to make it easier to navigate the site.
