There are a lot of reasons someone would want to spend the holidays in LA, especially as Disneyland improves its holiday features each year. Universal Citywalk, with its nightly snowfall, concerts, parades, and outdoor skating rink, is beautiful as well. But there's also that drive down Christmas Tree Lane (found in Altadena) or Pershing Square, which is an outdoor ice rink and perfect Instagram spot. The Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Walt Disney Concert Hall celebrates the sounds of the holidays with its annual Deck the Halls series of concerts, and the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens has a Reindeer Romp during the day and Zoo Lights Extravaganza at night.
As for where to stay, W Los Angeles — West Beverly Hills is heating up the holidays this year by surprising guests with its Sip N Lift Cocktail Caddy. Upon stepping into the elevator up to your room, there's a personal bartender serving The Living Room Bar's Mistletoe Muse cocktail from a sleek and stylish cocktail caddy. The beverage holds hints of fresh pomegranate, Champagne, and a sprig of rosemary. How festive is that?
