Exclusive, interactive Ice Palaces capture the magic of ‘The Peanuts Movie’ in theaters Nov. 6
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., 2015-10-30 — /EPR Retail News/ — To celebrate the launch of The Peanuts Movie, in theaters everywhere on Friday, November 6, a special family-friendly holiday experience is being offered exclusively at 10 Taubman shopping centers across the U.S. from November 6 through December 24.
Developed in partnership with 20th Century Fox, the iconic Peanuts characters will take center stage within unique, interactive Ice Palaces at each participating mall. The indoor holiday displays will feature a 30-foot dome complete with falling snow, a light show and other activities for the entire family.
“These lovable characters are synonymous with the holidays and what better way to bring them to life than through this memorable experience,” said Glenda Cole, vice president, marketing and sponsorship for Taubman. “Every year our Ice Palaces provide so much joy to families across the country and we’re certain the entire Peanuts gang will bring smiles and laughter to all who visit this season.”
“Taubman has created amazing holiday experiences for families and kids, so it was only natural to have the gang from The Peanuts Movie take part to share in the joy of the season,” said Zachary Eller, Senior Vice President, Marketing Partnerships, 20th Century Fox. “The immersive Ice Palace program will allow Peanuts fans of all ages to interact in a whole new way with these beloved characters.”
In addition, kids can watch special scenes from the new movie, create and compare their icy handprint alongside Snoopy and Woodstock, have their photo taken with a life-size graphic of Snoopy and his dog house and much more.
Shopping centers will also offer the opportunity for families to visit with Santa Claus as part of the Ice Palace experience. Those who visit Santa will receive a complimentary gift.
