Seattle has a retro Christmas pop-up hidden in an auto-garage

Looking for the ultimate holiday experience? A converted garage might just be your best bet. Sounds crazy right? Well, Otis and Sparky Kringle are ready to help you have the most magical holiday yet at Kringles Filling Station.

These two brothers come from a “long line of tinkerers, mechanics, engineers, and craftsmen whose family history and North Pole roots date back centuries.” They also happen to work for Hotopp Creative Studio, “an award-winning Seattle-based entertainment design firm specializing in attractions, experiences, and live events”. So you know it’s going to be good with no details spared.

So what can you do at Kringles Filling Station? The answer is a whole lot. You can snap a holiday photo of your entire crew with Otis and Sparky in a one-of-a-kind sleigh or play Christmas Ski-Ball and belt your heart out to Holiday Karaoke.

When you’re burnt you can kick back and relax with a cup of hot chocolate from one of their very special gas pumps. Also new in 2022 is a slot car race track for you to try your luck on the speedway.

Expect to see characters decked out in classic costumes as well as a converted garage full of old-timey decorations. It’s a perfectly retro Christmas experience that you won’t soon forget.
