How to use multiple models inside one viewset/serializer?

Question

I have 2 items inside my system that I have to use.But I am trying to develop a system which i have to get them inside one view and order them by "timestamp".

class CalendarEventSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = CalendarEvent
        fields = ("id","author",...)

class CalendarItemSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = CalendarItem
        fields = ("id","author",...)

You can customize the login using APIView and Generic APIVIEW

class GetCalenderEventAndItemsAPIView(APIView, GenericAPIView):
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)
    item_queryset = CalendarItem.objects.all().order_by('-timestamp')
    event_queryset = CalendarEvent.objects.all().order_by('-timestamp')
    item_serializer_class = CalendarItemSerializer
    event_serializer_class = CalendarEventSerializer
    filterset_fields = ['author']

    def get_paginated_query(self, _query_set):
        page = self.paginate_queryset(self.filter_queryset(_query_set))
        if page is not None:
            serializer = self.get_serializer(page, many=True)
            return self.get_paginated_response(serializer.data)
        return page

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        event_serializer = self.event_serializer_class(self.get_paginated_query(self.event_queryset),
                                                       many=True)
        item_serializer = self.event_serializer_class(self.get_paginated_query(self.item_queryset), many=True)

        response_results = {
            "calendarevents": event_serializer.data,
            "calendaritems": item_serializer.data

        }
        return Response(response_results)
