Gabriella Scothon ‘20 and Allie Longo ‘20, Staff Writers

Candy Cane Lane in El Segundo (E Acacia Ave, El Segundo, CA 90245) & The Valley (5966 Lubao Ave, Woodland Hills, CA 91367). Viewing over-the-top home decorations is a great way to get into the holiday spirit and spend time with family and friends. Go for a drive and get ready to marvel at the thousands of lights.

Grab some friends and your creative ideas and go to Duff’s Cake Mix (multiple locations). Create cakes, memories, and holiday cheer with the cakes you decorate. Explore your inner artist and learn how the pros do it. 

Snow Day LA (Elysian Park). This winter-themed tubing event through December 29 features everything amazing about a good snowy day. Tubing, sledding, hot cocoa, and so much more. Grab friends and family and head out for a snow-filled day of fun and Christmas cheer.

Book tickets to see holiday movies at the Los Angeles Rooftop Cinema Club (locations on Melrose and Downtown). Through December they will be playing movies from Home Alone to Love Actually. Bundle up in sweaters, jackets, and blankets for a night filled with classic movies.

Go visit a lifesize Gingerbread house with hundreds of pounds of candy and frosting at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Go live out your childhood dreams of being in a house made out of candy and grab a couple of Instagram pictures along the way.
