Los Angeles is never a boring city--there is always something to do. During December, the city goes into full winter and holiday swing. Light displays, holiday shows and winter-themed events take place each day, so you're sure to find an activity that interests you or your family.
Go Ice Skating Downtown
Pershing Square Park sets up an ice skating rink each year. Skating outdoors in Los Angeles is a fun and unique experience. They hold sessions each evening, and tickets and skate rentals are available. Bring your camera to capture the experience.

Go to The Grove
Each year The Grove shopping and entertainment complex puts up a 110-foot Christmas tree. There's a fake snowfall nightly on the hour and Christmas carols. The first night lighting ceremony is televised locally just like the one in New York's Rockefeller Center and brings out celebrities to perform and take part in the festivities.
