Welcome to Things to Do in Los Angeles, listeners! I'm Ollie Bennet, your globe-trotting sports nut turned LA adventure guide, buzzing with energy on this post-Christmas Friday, December 26, 2025. The city's vibe is electric—sunny skies in the mid-60s after yesterday's holiday chill, with light traffic perfect for zipping around, though a sprinkle might pop up later per LAist reports.
Kick off today with Pupusas and Punchlines at Jaragua Restaurant in Mid-City at 7:30 p.m., where comics from Jimmy Kimmel Live deliver holiday-themed laughs over steaming pupusas—pure family-friendly fun with a comedic twist. Dance into Mama Juana Nights Salsa Social at 3707 Cahuenga Blvd starting at 9 p.m., featuring a live salsa band, beginner classes, and DJ vibes for cultural immersion. Catch Chali 2na and Cut Chemist dropping Jurassic 5 hip-hop fire at Lodge Room, or rave with DJ Hanzel at Academy LA on Hollywood Blvd from 10 p.m. for nightlife pulses. Sports fans, gear up for LA Chargers vs. Houston Texans tomorrow at SoFi Stadium—grab tix now!
Local buzz: LAist notes lighter holiday traffic but rainy patches, so check Metro for smooth rides; no major disruptions. New spot alert—the ASU FIDM Museum downtown flaunts 300+ Marlene Dietrich artifacts for old Hollywood glam.
Must-dos today: Preview Mythical Creatures immersive art at Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena—free, through January 4, blending Korean murals and Asian treasures. Hit the Academy Museum for a 7:30 p.m. 3D screening of The Amazing something-or-other in Ted Mann Theater. Hidden gem: Rose Bowl Stadium Tour at 10:30 a.m. for behind-the-scenes locker room peeks.
Local tip: Navigate like a pro—use Waze for real-time HOV lane hacks on the 101; Angelenos swear by it to dodge tourist traps. Fun fact: LA's got more quirky pop-up events than Super Bowl halftime shows!
Tomorrow teases Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special at Alex Theatre in Glendale, Chargers gridiron glory, and Nutcracker finale at Dolby Theatre—tune in for the scoop!
