Peck, father to Max (3) and newborn Shai, is best known for his roles on Nickelodeon’s “Drake and Josh”, Disney Plus’ Turner and Hooch, and most recently, “How I Met Your Father” on Hulu. Peck has more than 25 million followers across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok and will appear next in Christopher Nolan’s movie, “Oppenheimer”. Mowry-Housley, mother to Aden (9) and Ariah (6), first gained fame for her teen role as Tamera Campbell on the ABC/WB sitcom Sister, Sister (opposite her twin sister Tia Mowry). She is an Emmy-winning host for the syndicated daytime talk show “The Real” along with being a successful author and producer. Peck and Mowry-Housley enjoyed the Park’s festive holiday décor with their families before heading to LEGOLAND California’s famous 30-foot-tall LEGO Christmas tree created from 245,000 green DUPLO®bricks for the evening’s festivities. Prior to pulling the switch that turned on more than 11,000 twinkling LED lights, Peck and Mowry-Housley were presented special LEGO ornaments as invitations to return when the Park unveils its newest addition to Miniland U.S.A., a LEGO version of San Diego that is planned to open spring of 2023. Guests were also treated to a sneak preview of Mowry-Housley’s new holiday film prior to it premiering on the Hallmark Channel later that evening. At the ceremony, LEGOLAND California Resort donated $10,000 on Peck’s behalf to MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach and the Hallmark Channel donated $10,000 on Mowry-Housley’s behalf to Make-A-Wish. Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital is a non-profit, pediatric and maternity teaching hospital in Long Beach that treats more than 8,000 children each year, delivers more than 5,500 babies and has become a regional pediatric destination for more than 84,000 children who need specialized care in outpatient specialty and satellite centers. Make-A-Wish is a non-profit organization that grants life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. A wish can be that spark that helps these children believe that anything is possible and gives them strength to fight harder against their illnesses. LEGOLAND and Mowry-Housley have both been longtime supporters of Make-A-Wish. The annual tree lighting ceremony is part of the Park’s winter celebration, Holidays at LEGOLAND California Resort.
