The Best Things to Do This Christmas in Los Angeles
The holidays in Los Angeles are a little odd for transplants and tourists in that you can often walk around on Christmas Day in a T-shirt, and there’s never any snow. That doesn’t mean, however, that L.A. skimps on the festive cheer. There are many places where you can take a pic with Santa, sip on some eggnog, and hear all of your favorite holiday tunes whether you want to or not. Here are 11 ways to celebrate Christmas in Los Angeles in 2017.
