In this interview, a MrBeast producer recounts the creation of the "Vacations That Cost" video series, which spans trips ranging from $1 to $250,000. The team had only two weeks to plan and execute the shoot, starting with a brainstorming session that considered destinations like Paris and Switzerland. They ultimately chose Switzerland for its unique ice igloo village, which could serve as a standout location. The producer explains the logistical hurdles of coordinating the Sidemen’s involvement, noting that mismatched flight schedules forced the team to use Geneva as a hub, with a crew member catching a 6 am train to the city. Once in Geneva, the production was carried out with a local team, leveraging the igloo village setting to deliver the high‑budget segment of the series. Throughout, the producer highlights the pressure of the tight timeline, the need for rapid creative decisions, and the collaborative effort required to bring the ambitious concept to life.

Chapters

I was part of a video called Vacations That Cost a Dollar all the way up to Vacation That Cost $250,000. We had 2 weeks to do it. We have no idea what the creative is. Let's draw on a list of places that we would want to go on vacation. You're going to Paris, you're going to Switzerland. They booked a flight and they went, and I said, call me when you're there. And Switzerland's the best because ice igloo village we would have to ourselves. When we pitched it, it was like, no, we feel like we need something with the Sidemen. And logistically, the Sidemen are going to come in, they can't do that because the flights don't match up. So we've got to go to Geneva, so the kid gets on a train, literally at 6 in the morning, goes to Geneva, produces something in Geneva. He ends up producing this thing with the team in Geneva
