'Tis the season to live vicariously. Visiting Schitt's Creek never felt as convenient as just browsing through the memorable photos from the VIP event that dropped in Los Angeles recently.
For those that may have missed the news, Los Angeles and New York fans have the lucky pleasure of celebrating the holiday season with a special immersive experience for the show.
An interactive setting was created by Pop TV for all Schitt's Creek fans to enjoy, which includes recreated sets, photo experiences, giveaways and more.
It was so in demand that tickets opened up and sold out within minutes. Twice.
Fans weren't kidding around when they showed their appreciation for all things related to the Rose family, all leading up to the upcoming premiere of the final season for the show.
