Temperatures are great year-round in LA, making it one of the best places to visit in December. It can get busy, but luckily most visitors stay in tourist spots.
You won’t want to miss holiday events like Christmas Tree Lane in Altadena (one of the most festive streets in LA), the LA Kings Holiday Ice Rink or the Hollywood Christmas Parade.
Local tip: LA traffic is brutal. When planning your trip, try to explore an area or neighborhood every day instead of sitting in the car all day.
