00:01 - Wow, you sure got a thing for candy canes,

00:04 don't you Chris?

00:05 - Yeah, all hand carved.

00:07 - Cute.

00:08 - It's not first place cute, but it's cute.

00:10 - My husband creates a plan to like get out there

00:14 and if you're gonna play that game,

00:15 I'm gonna play that game right back with you.

00:17 - Every year, our block goes all out for Christmas.

00:20 The competition's got a lot of money on the line.

00:22 This year, the stakes are higher than ever.

00:23 - You have my attention.

00:24 He's all about the contest and the money

00:27 and he needs to learn a lesson or two.

00:29 - Ignore all the fine print.

00:31 Honestly, it's like you're signing your life away.

00:33 - All right, and action.

00:41 - I'm a big Christmas person.

00:43 When I was a kid, we would drive through

00:46 those great neighborhoods with these amazing decorations

00:50 and then we found out about the candy cane lane phenomenon

00:54 where there'd be a block in El Segundo.

00:56 Whoa, you gotta go down there,

00:58 you gotta see what they're doing.

00:59 So it was something I always had a deep appreciation for,

01:04 for myself and for my family.

01:06 - The tradition started on the lane in 1949.

01:12 Part of the inspiration for this movie came

01:13 when years ago, my parents moved there

01:15 and my dad, who had a woodworking shop,

01:18 thought this was great,

01:19 so he's gonna get all in on the action.

01:21 - Kelly Younger was riding from experience.

01:27 His father was a truck driver,

01:28 but had an incredible artistic side.

01:30 He was a real folk artist who handmade

01:33 all these amazing ornaments and really had a big impact

01:37 on every other house.

01:38 - And so their house got featured in the local paper.

01:43 And so there was a little rivalry.

01:45 That's kind of what gave me the sort of initial idea

01:48 for this story.

01:49 - It wasn't just buying store-bought stuff.

01:51 It was, he was really expressing himself

01:54 and that joy in his heart was spreading

01:57 through the whole neighborhood.

01:58 - Opening night of "Candy Cane Lane,"

02:04 all of El Segundo comes out.

02:06 Everyone walks down to the lane.

02:08 There's a band that is playing.

02:10 Everybody's out and dressed up.

02:12 The El Segundo fire department brings out the trucks.

02:15 Santa rides on top of the fire truck.

02:17 Eventually he'll get out

02:18 and he'll walk in front of the fire truck.

02:20 - Merry Christmas!

02:22 (laughing)

02:23 - And then Santa walks along the lane

02:25 and he points to houses.

02:27 And when he points, it magically lights the house up.

02:30 I have been seeing you as Santa for years,

02:33 as have my kids.

02:34 - Merry Christmas, Santa!

02:35 - How long have you been doing it?

02:37 - I believe it's been 33, 34 years.

02:41 - We're like, let's get the El Segundo Santa

02:44 to be the Santa in the movie.

02:46 And he got out there and he's got the moves.

02:49 Pow!

02:50 - Has there ever been a mishap where a house

02:51 didn't turn on when you pointed at him?

02:53 - Almost every year.

02:54 - Oh good, okay.

02:55 (laughing)

02:57 - Man, come on brother man.

03:03 You must not pay your light bills.

03:04 Oh, here's the hot chocolate.

03:07 Here's the peppermint.

03:09 Oh, look at that Christmas tree.

03:10 And wow, look at all these homemade decorations.

03:14 There's rivalries.

03:15 There's a little friendly competition between neighbors.

03:18 Oh, it's this one right here.

03:19 This is really kind of a love letter to El Segundo.

03:21 It's such a fun but unique little town

03:24 because it is a beach community,

03:26 but we're also near a refinery,

03:28 a water treatment plant, the airport.

03:31 We never get snow, but we celebrate the holidays

03:34 almost more because of that, because the weather is good

03:36 and we can be out every single night

03:38 walking down on the lane.

03:39 - While El Segundo has an incredible one,

03:41 everywhere in the United States has a candy cane.

03:45 And we have been researching and grabbing elements

03:47 from all of them.

03:48 As big as the candy cane lane phenomenon is now,

03:52 I cannot wait till the year after this movie comes out

03:55 to make a popular thing

03:58 that's happening all over the country.
