Christmas Fun in Los Angeles Here in Southern California we never quite experience the winter wonderland of our favorite holiday films, but we definitely don’t disappoint when it comes to Christmas spirit. Los Angeles recreates the snowy magic of the holidays through a variety of unforgettable festivals, events, and spectacular holiday décor and lighting. Whether you enjoy shopping beneath decorated palm trees, ice skating in the winter breeze, or strolling downtown among the sparkling holiday décor and lighting, Southern California offers endless festive fun. One big way Los Angeles gets into the Christmas spirit is through the transformation of its shopping malls. Seemingly overnight, Los Angeles’s beloved malls transfigure into the winter wonderlands of our dreams. Equipped with holiday dining, shopping, entertainment and–of course–decorations, LA’s malls have become treasured destinations for those near and far. The Grove The Grove offers us a unique, outdoor shopping experience, and that is especially true during the holidays. Beneath the Los Angeles sky, visitors enjoy shopping, dining, and entertainment that embodies the magic of Christmas. The popular outdoor shopping mall is decked out in bows, wreaths, lights, and a 100 foot Christmas tree. To get the most out of your holiday shopping experience, don’t miss out on the Grove’s festive atmosphere, visits from Santa Claus, and “snowfall” each night at 7 and 8 PM! The Americana at Brand For yet another stroll through a wintery, wonderful land, visit The Americana at Brand. While getting gifts for all on your nice list, wander amongst the sparkling foliage and fountains, gaze up in awe at the 100 foot tree, and enjoy “snow” in SoCal. The Americana has it all–unbelievable deals on designer brands, magical décor and lighting, and endless holiday entertainment. Universal City Walk Visit Universal CityWalk for non-stop fun, laughter, sights, entertainment, and Christmas cheer. For family fun and play, pay a visit to Grinchmas at Universal Studios. Then explore Universal City Walk chalk full of holiday décor, glittering lights, Santa Claus, and a giant Christmas tree–decked with over 200,000 LED lights that twinkle to the sounds of Christmas cheer! Whether you’re a SoCal local or just visiting Los Angeles, Universal City Walk will entertain and delight all night long. Done Shopping? Try Something Different If you’re looking for a break from the craziness of holiday shopping, there are plenty of holiday activities for you. For instance, take a friend, the whole family, or that special someone ice skating. In the heart of downtown Los Angeles, Pershing Square gives you the joy and winter delight of gliding on ice. Los Angeles also offers unforgettable moments at Christmas movie showings, holiday parades, and beautifully decorated and brightly lit neighborhoods.
