Have you ever wanted to transport yourself to the Shire and eat second breakfast with the hobbits? What about exploring the forests of Rivendell and partying with the elves? Now, HBO Max makes it possible to immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of Middle-earth.
In this roughly one-hour video, you can dive headfirst into the intricately-crafted world of The Lord of the Rings, complete with stunning visuals from the films and a calming soundtrack.

This tranquil video feels like a lovely gift to tide us over until The Lord of the Rings TV series premieres on Amazon on September 2, 2022. The new show explores Middle-earth thousands of years before the events in J.R.R. Tolkien‘s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings novels. We’ll see new and familiar faces confront the “long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.”
Created by Patrick McKay and John D. Payne, The Lord of the Rings series sports a massive cast, including Benjamin Walker, Morfydd Clark, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Lenny Henry, Maxim Baldry and Peter Mullan.
You can stream The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies on HBO Max.
Now, if you’ll need me, I’ll be finding serenity in the sweeping hills of the Shire and maybe, just maybe, embarking on a grand adventure to destroy the One Ring.
Take a gander at HBO Max’s “Relax in Middle-earth” video for some much-needed relaxation this holiday season.
