Disney Stars Liv and Maddy at the Queen Mary's Chill Wed, Dec 17

See your favorite stars, get Chilled in the Ice Kingdom, give your list to Santa, and drink some hot cocoa. But that's not all...

Regardless of whether it is Liv Rooney - shoe loving child star - or Maddie Rooney - her sports-loving, studious identical twin (in looks, anyway) - that shows up for the celebrity moment, you can be sure that Dove Cameron, who plays both characters, will be there. Perhaps we will be lucky and Ms. Cameron will duck out to do a wardrobe change, so that you can catch a cameo with both personalities! In fact...

The entire cast of Liv and Maddie will be at the ice rink from 6-8PM on Wednesday, December 17th, 2014, to sign autographs for you.

The Queen Mary’s Chill has become a wonderful holiday-spirit event for locals in Long Beach and the Los Angeles area. Enter the holiday themed area, and be delighted by festive photographic displays. Be sure to take your camera, because there will be many opportunities to get that photo for your Christmas card that you have yet to order.

Don a warm parka before you enter the California-themed, Chill-y Ice Kingdom. Visit the giant Candy Cane Forest, take photos with Surfing Santa and check out the Giant Christmas Tree. Take photos with St. Nick and follow the trail through the fairytale kingdom. Millions of pounds of ice from a very large ice factory, sculpted by ice artists.

But that’s not all.

You’ll want to take a slide down the ice tubing hill... I can personally attest to how much fun this is! Here’s a video from last year where I was first in line.


You’ll want to be sure to visit with Santa (don’t forget to take your list!) and check out (or try on) the ice skating rink!
