From December 3rd through the 31st take the family ice skating at L.A. Live. The L.A. Kings sponsor the 70 feet by 50 feet skating rink that holds 200 skaters. Located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, across from the staple center, L.A. Live is an adult entertainment complex. Take a turn around the skating rink and then enjoy dinner at the ESPN Zone or The Yard House. For those who still believe, Santa will be donning his skates and taking to the ice every night from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. General admission is $10, for military personnel and family it is $5. Save $1 with a valid student I.D. and save $2 with the donation of a CD or DVD to Operation Gratitude.

This Santa isn’t the man you remember from your childhood dreams, but he might have a place in your adult fantasies. He’s younger, stronger and has a six pack. Hunky Santa takes his throne once again at the Beverly Center. Mall Santa’s are a Christmas tradition, but the Beverly Center, located near Beverly Hills, has been taking a different approach in recent years. Hunky Santa and the Candy Cane girls take the stage every night from 5 p.m. until closing. Come take a picture with this sexy Santa and send your friends a holiday card they’re sure to remember. Parent’s need not worry a traditional Santa will be there to greet children every morning until 5 p.m.

Tis the season to be jolly and you’ll have help getting into the holiday spirit from your local city parks and recreation department. Find out where your city’s holiday tree lighting ceremony is taking place and take your kids to meet Santa.
