00:03
Hi, I'm Christopher Palaha, and Hallmark and I
00:06
would like to take you on an exclusive tour of Biltmore
00:09
House, America's largest private home.
00:12
Come on.
00:13
Now, the first stop on our tour is the tapestry gallery.
00:16
And I'm talking in hushed tones, because if you look all the way
00:18
to the back of the room, we're actually filming a scene
00:20
right now for Biltmore Christmas.
00:22
But I want to show you this room first.
00:23
Come here.
00:24
The first thing you're going to notice
00:26
is a beautiful baby grand piano and then these three
00:27
massive 1,500 Flemish tapestries.
00:31
And this room boasts not one, but two fireplaces.
00:34
And if you look all the way to the back,
00:36
you'll see George Vanderbilt and his wife Cornelia.
00:38
George is the man who built this palace.
00:40
Now, in a Biltmore Christmas, the Hallmark movie,
00:43
the cute meet between my character and Lucy
00:46
happens in this room.
00:47
It's called the Winter Garden.
00:49
The Winter Garden was George Vanderbilt's
00:51
sort of inside greenhouse.
00:54
And if you look up, you'll see the glass ceilings.
00:56
And his daughter had her wedding breakfast right here.
00:59
Welcome to the Billiard Room.
01:00
In a Biltmore Christmas, Lucy and Winson
01:03
come through this room on the tour of the house.
01:06
And this is sort of where the men mostly, but the women too,
01:09
would come in for a little after dinner drink, a little cigar,
01:13
a little light conversation.
01:15
It's just a beautiful room.
01:16
And the next stop on the tour is the banquet hall.
01:19
A lot of scenes that were shot here,
01:20
particularly one between my character Jack and Lucy,
01:23
some snappy little 1940s style banter.
01:26
Excuse me.
01:28
Now, here at the Biltmore house, they
01:29
have a 35-foot tall Fraser fir that's grown specifically
01:33
for Biltmore House.
01:34
And every year, they chop this beauty down,
01:38
and they bring in a fresh, brand new live tree.
01:41
And let's see if we can find the pickle, shall we?
01:45
Now, that means good luck for you and me.
01:49
We found the pickle.
01:50
Let's go see another room.
01:51
We are in the library.
01:53
This room, if you were here, would blow your mind.
01:56
It's a two-story library.
01:58
George Vanderbilt built it to house all of his books.
02:00
He's got first editions totaling in the thousands.
02:03
There's a globe that's as big as my car in the corner.
02:07
This fireplace happens to be the biggest single fireplace
02:11
in the house, which kind of, I think,
02:12
makes it the single biggest fireplace in the country.
02:15
Look up, and you'll see an entire 13-panel ceiling
02:19
painting painted in the early 1700s by Pellegrini.
02:23
And they literally built the library to accommodate
02:26
the ceiling painting.
02:27
This is such an important room in the story
02:29
of Biltmore Christmas.
02:31
And in it, there's this beautiful Christmas tree
02:33
that is decked up as if it were from 1947.
02:36
It's kind of amazing.
02:38
Oh, no.
02:39
Look at this.
02:39
We're just about out of time.
02:41
I got more rooms to show you.
02:42
Come on.
02:43
Let's go.
02:44
And we are in the final room of the house, which is actually
02:47
the first room that you would meet as a guest.
02:49
Back in the day, this is the grand entry hall.
02:52
This is where the Cinderella moment in the movie happens.
02:55
You look beautiful.
02:57
Thank you.
02:58
Speaking of Cinderella, it's my leading lady,
03:00
Bethany Joy Lenz.
03:02
Hi, everybody.
03:03
So this is the grand entry that Vanderbilts would greet
03:05
their guests, but we're doing our Christmas party scene here.
03:07
May I cut in?
03:08
Yes.
03:09
No.
03:10
Hi.
03:11
It's all very romantic.
03:13
They're calling for me.
03:14
Sorry.
03:15
Ta-ta.
03:17
Now, you be sure to watch "A Biltmore Christmas,"
03:19
and thank you so much for coming on this tour with us
03:21
at Biltmore House.
03:23
I'll see you in the pictures, kid.
03:27
Merry Christmas.
