LA December Magic: Nutcrackers, Stevie Wonder, and Cosmic Cocktails
Welcome to Things to Do in Los Angeles, listeners! I'm Ollie Bennet, your globe-trotting sports nut turned holiday hype machine, and today the City of Angels is buzzing with festive fire under sunny skies around 65 degrees—perfect for ditching the coat and diving into December magic.
Kick off with **Ellington's Nutcracker & Tchaikovsky’s Winter Daydreams** at Walt Disney Concert Hall at 8 PM, where the LA Phil jazzes up the classic with sugar-plum swagger and holiday vibes for culture lovers[7][4]. Families, snag spots at the **A Christmas Carol Cocktail Experience** in San Pedro—boozy ghosts and Dickensian drinks from 6 PM, or skip the cocktails for the kiddo version[1]. Music fans, Stevie Wonder's 26th House Full of Toys benefit rocks the Fonda Theatre at 8 PM, packing soul, toys for tots, and all-ages energy[2][17]. Night owls, catch **Lady Gaga in Harlequin** live at the Grammy Museum at 7 PM for a reel-to-reel extravaganza that's sold out fast[15][10]. And for immersive lights, wander **Holiday Road** in Calabasas with candy cane paths and food trucks till late[1].
Local buzz: Over 375 eateries are in Winter Restaurant Week with fixed-price steals across LA—dive into diverse menus now through early January, per LA Tourism[8]. Santa Monica's gearing up for epic music fests tied to the 2026 World Cup and Olympics[6].
Must-dos today: Hit Grinchmas at Universal Studios for Who-ville cheer, Grinch pics, and snowy tree lightings[1]; explore Enchanted Forest of Light at Descanso Gardens for glowing trails[1]; or pedal through Downtown Disney's fake snowfalls from 6 PM[1]. Hidden gem: Astra Lumina at South Coast Botanic Garden—astral projections and cosmic cocktails that'll make you feel like an alien sports star[1].
Local tip: LA drivers, beat traffic like a pro—use the Metro Expo Line to Exposition Park for events, and fun fact: Did you know our Nutcracker ballets sneak in SoCal nods like Pacific waves? Pure quirky genius[1].
Tomorrow, Nutcracker openings explode at Dolby Theatre and Enchant LA's massive light maze at Santa Anita Park—tune in for the scoop!
