Dozens of blocks of mid-century ranch homes are completely swathed in millions of twinkling lights, animated mechanical reindeer, roof-mounted Santa sleighs, glowing nativity scenes, and giant inflatables. Neighborhood children set up curbside stands selling steaming cups of hot chocolate, hot spiced cider, and warm churros. While driving through is possible, walking on foot is highly recommended to fully soak in the festive neighborhood camaraderie. ## Similar picks in Los Angeles - [Enchant Los Angeles Christmas Light Maze at Santa Anita Park](https://grassyknees.com/los-angeles/activities/enchant-los-angeles-christmas-light-maze-at-santa-anita-park--listing-cbaa0bb69594f596fe135b02) — Nov 20 – Dec 27 · Santa Anita Park, Arcadia · All ages · From $29 · checked Oct 24.
