Christmas events in Los Angeles
There are plenty of Christmas events and holiday activities to get you in the festive mood.
While we may not be dreaming of a white Christmas in Los Angeles (except for that day the other year when it totally snowed), we can certainly look forward to more than a few Christmas lights on palm trees. Like Santa’s elves, we’re constantly working on putting together a list of the best Christmas events, activities, movies and songs for this most magical time of year—so keep checking back throughout the season. Don’t miss out on these holiday events because before you know it New Year’s Eve planning will be in full swing and then it’ll be back to work (or whatever pays for all your year-end partying). Merry Christmas!
