“In the Spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," wrote Alfred Tennyson. And an older man's (or woman's) fancy might turn to creating artistic tableaus with Peeps, that omnipresent Easter candy.

In honor of the holiday, people around the country have created Peep shows. And the inspired artists included residents of Holly Creek, a Christian Living community in Centennial, who reimagined legendary television shows using Peeps for the main characters.
