Golden Globe award winner Jenna Elfman and her family joined in the winter tradition at LEGOLAND® California Resort and helped Santa pull the switch lighting the 30-foot tall LEGO® Christmas tree during the 13th annual tree lighting ceremony in Carlsbad, California.

Guests at tonight’s tree lighting got an exclusive first look at an image from “The LEGO Movie 4D A New Adventure” and viewed special LEGO ornaments created by Master Model Builders that were inspired by the Park’s new animated attraction premiering Feb. 6 at LEGOLAND California. Emmet and Wyldstyle costume characters joined Elfman and her sons Story(8) and Easton(5) and, of course, Santa, on stage to help pull a magical switch that set off thousands of lights and a twinkling LEGO star, followed by snow showering Park guests and a fireworks show.

At the ceremony, LEGOLAND California Resort donated $10,000 on Elfman’s behalf to Youth for Human Rights International, a Los Angeles based charity aimed at teaching youth about human rights, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and inspires them to become valuable advocates for tolerance and peace. “For us parents, in the world today, we see what’s going on and we all in our heart of hearts wish for peace on earth, truly. I feel the way we are going to accomplish that on a larger scale is through education of human rights,” said Elfman. “I think we’d all like to see peace and harmony.”


“Human Rights are the rights that every kid and adult, all girls and boys have and without them it is hard to live a happy and successful life,” said Executive Director of Youth for Human Rights International Ruslan Khusainov. “Our organization, like LEGOLAND California, is dedicated to bringing joy and happiness to people. We do it through education around the world and with this generous donation we will be able to continue doing it on a bigger scale!”

Guests at tonight’s ceremony were also treated to new animated footage of NINJAGO The Ride coming to LEGOLAND California in the spring of 2016. The new dark ride features cutting edge technology enabling guests to act like ninja warriors blasting animated fireballs, lightning, shockwaves and ice as they go into battle.

Towering over the theme park’s Fun Town winter wonderland, the LEGO Christmas tree stands 30-foot tall, is created out of more than 245,000 green DUPLO® bricks, features more than 400 LEGO ornaments and sparkles with more than 11,000 LED lights. The tree lighting ceremony is part of LEGOLAND California Resort’s coolest holiday celebration ever, Holiday Snow Days and Winter Nights. Now through January 3, 2015, the Park transforms into a winter wonderland featuring real snow for kids to build snow balls and throw at LEGO targets, decorate a snowman with LEGO accessories or make a snow angel. Guests can enjoy festive entertainment plus nightly fireworks Dec. 26 through 31 and the celebration concludes with San Diego’s biggest Kids’ New Year’s Eve Party on Dec. 31. All Holiday Snow Days and Winter Nights activities located inside the Park are included with regular Park admission.
