Recently I was invited for a VIP preview of Google’s Winter Wonderlab, a holiday experience at Bryant Park. I couldn't make it that night, but I made sure to visited the store this week to learn about this fun limited time winter experience.

Note: I was invited as media to the evening event. No other compensation was received. Views expressed are always 100% my own.

At this first ever Winter Wonderlab, you can take a break from the holiday chaos and have some fun. In the Google Winter Wonderlab you can relax on one of the cushy seats, test out some of the cool devices or make a fun digital holiday card.


If you'd like to learn more about hot devices for the holidays, then stop by any of the tables where someone will tell you more about the lineup of holiday gifts from Google including:

• NEXUS 7 - features Google’s highest resolution 7” screen, dual stereo speaker surround sound, and a thin, gorgeous design. Get the most out of entertainment, photos and the web.

• CHROMEBOOK - Apps are a click away, video chats are are loud and clear, and YouTube videos look brilliant. Chromebooks start up in seconds and automatically stay up-to-date, with everything backed up in the cloud.

• GOOGLE CHROMECAST - Send online video and music on apps like Hulu Plus, Netflix, and YouTube from your smartphone, tablet or laptop to your TV. Set Chromecast up in three easy steps: plug it into your HDTV, connect to WiFi, then cast videos, music, and more.

• GOOGLE PLAY - The Google Play store has everything you could want across movies, music, games, apps, and even your favorite new devices. Get all your favorite entertainment instantly on your phone, tablet, or the web—and enjoy it anywhere, anytime.

I really wanted to stay and make a video in the a giant snow globe. It looked like SO much fun. But I had to dash off to somewhere else. If you visit the Google Winter Wonderlab, make sure to stop in the globe and make one!
