NOVI, MICH (WXYZ) — A first-of-its-kind holiday experience in Novi is aiming to break the Guinness World record for number of illuminated trees.
At the Novi Suburban Collection Showplace, the first-ever Holiday Magic Spectacular is in full swing.
The 80,000-square-foot experience has over 1,000 Christmas trees, along with other festive decorations and strolling entertainment.
Organizer Matt Flynn says he got a lot of help from Santa's elves to make it all come together.
"Just the large trees alone, the branches, we had 20 people working two and half days, long hours, fluffing the branches, because they came in small boxes," said Flynn.
"We worked seven straight days and we worked 18 to 20 hours days," he added.
They are also on a mission to break a world record with their magical display.
"Currently, Seattle made the Guinness World Record with 797 illuminated trees, so I know we are above that; we just have to go and video each one and send the paperwork to Guinness," he said.
The event is open to people of all ages.
