This year, instead of getting the movie or TV fan on your Christmas list another Twilight calendar or Dexter mug, why not give them something they’ll actually appreciate, like the chance to meet one of their favorite celebrities?
Here are five fun celebrity experiences that also make awesome Christmas gifts:
1. Tickets to one of Creation Entertainment’s Upcoming Events
