As a self proclaimed holiday enthusiast, I know how to celebrate. It’s a responsibility I take very seriously, especially when it comes to the months of November-December, a time of the year that I refer to as the “9th inning,” that final stretch of the year that’s packed with reunions, family events, and opportunities to get into your favorite cocktail dress.
Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas…you’ll see them all in my calendar. If there’s somebody to celebrate with, I don’t discriminate when it comes to holidays.
In my years of celebrating, I’ve been able to gather a good arsenal of activities for Angelenos to delve into if you need an extra dose of holiday spirit. So whether you’re looking for a holiday classic or an activity that’s new and unusual, you’ll find it all here in The Guide: Holiday Season Hot Spots!
Drink a Pumpkin Martini at The Thirsty Crow
2939 West Sunset Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90026
I’ll be honest, just seeing this on the drink menu almost gave me a cavity. I despise drinks with pink mixers, cutesy names, or unnecessary decorations. I’ll take an extra dirty Grey Goose martini, please. However, I’ll admit I was convinced into taking a sip of this seasonal cocktail after an enthusiastic friend sang it’s praises. I actually was pleasantly surprised. The Thirsty Crow’s pumpkin martini is the perfect after dinner treat for those of you who want a holiday sugar rush with your vodka.
Twelve Days Of Yultide Yummies at Yogurtland
5541 W. Sunset Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90028
If you’re a frozen yogurt fanatic, check out Yogurtland December 1-12 for a new holiday flavor every day! Sample flavors like gingerbread, egg nog, and snowflake mint.
Skate In Santa Monica
1324 5th Street
Santa Monica, CA 90407
When it’s 70 degrees outside, December in Los Angeles isn’t exactly a winter wonderland. But sometimes all you need to temporarily suspend reality is an over-sized block of ice and a lot of fake snow. Spend an evening skating in Santa Monica with somebody special this month. Don’t forget a pair of gloves and a scarf!
Jingle Brains Holiday Zombie Walk
Santa Monica Pier & 3rd Street
Santa Monica, CA 90401
Sick of the usual holiday activities? Tired of tinsel and tree-trimming? Ditch the Christmas sweater party you’re invited to this Saturday night and deck yourself in zombie trimming. Yes, you heard me. Dress in your goriest garb, and march through the streets in Santa Monica like the undead to get into the holiday spirit.
Disneyland Winter Wonderland
1313 South Harbor Avenue
Anaheim, CA 92803
Disneyland is the perfect holiday activity for friends, family, kids, and even the underage wannabe raver now that ElecTRONica (a techno fueled dance party) is a temporary attraction at California Adventure. During the holiday season it looks cute enough to convert the biggest Grinch into a holiday enthusiast. So grab a group of friends and spend the day wading through crowds and sipping on hot chocolate as you succumb to your inner child!
