Los Angeles is trading its iconic sun-kissed vibes for a festive culinary spectacle this December. While the city may not be decked out in traditional winter finery, the holiday season promises to bring a splash of magic to LA's top hotels, restaurants, and bars.
In the final weeks of November, iconic establishments begin transforming into winter wonderlands. Christmas trees twinkle, lights shimmer, and candy canes abound as the city's most beloved eateries prepare for the merriest time of the year. But it's not just about aesthetics – many popular spots are offering limited-time seasonal specials that would make any holiday enthusiast swoon.
For the umpteenth time, the Fairmont Century Plaza is bringing back its Swiss chalet extravaganza, while Sandbourne Santa Monica launches a new take on the classic alpine-inspired dinner. Five-star hotels like the Maybourne and Hotel Bel-Air are getting into the swing of things with high-tea extravaganzas, but those seeking something more low-key – and indulgent – should look to Hollywood's Frosty's Christmas Bar pop-up.
From sushi-savvy Uchi, serving up karaage, caviar, and bubbly Champagne by the glass, to a swanky holiday speakeasy at the Four Seasons, LA's culinary scene is set to get merry. When it comes to the most festive food and drink happenings in town, these are the spots you won't want to miss.

and who knows maybe it'll bring some joy to all those people stuck in traffic on the 405... i mean, i'd rather be somewhere else during the holidays but hey, free champagne by the glass is kinda worth braving the crowds for 
! who needs snow when u can have swiss chalet vibes at the fairmont century plaza 
? and a sushi place serving karaage & caviar with bubbly champagne by the glass?! 
uchi is about to get a major holiday boost. also, frosty's christmas bar sounds like an ultimate low-key spot to indulge in some festive faves. can't wait to try these spots out! 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to try some Swiss chalet-inspired dinner or high-tea at the Maybourne? And can we talk about Uchi's holiday menu? karaage, caviar, and bubbly Champagne all in one spot? That sounds like a total indulgence fest 
. But what really gets me excited is the variety of options - from sushi to speakeasy-style bars... there's something for everyone. I'm definitely adding Frosty's Christmas Bar and Sandbourne Santa Monica to my holiday itinerary 
. Who else is ready to get merry in LA this December?
. The fact that all these top hotels and restaurants are getting into the holiday spirit is just the icing on the cake (or should I say, the sprinkles on the eggnog?) 
. Can't wait to indulge in some festive food and drinks!
Yaaas, I'm there! It's not just about the festive atmosphere; it's also about trying new & delicious treats.
As for me, I'll probably stick to Frosty's Christmas Bar pop-up - all that indulgence sounds like just what I need this December! 
It's always cool how they transform iconic spots into winter wonderlands. I love that some places are getting all fancy with high-tea extravaganzas and Swiss chalet vibes, but at the same time, it's awesome to have more low-key options like Frosty's Christmas Bar pop-up for those who want to keep things chill. And omg, sushi with caviar and bubbly? 
That sounds like a total holiday dream come true! What's your go-to spot for festive food and drink in LA?
and omg, frosty's christmas bar sounds like the ultimate holiday guilty pleasure... adding it to my la bucket list ASAP!

Like, I know it's fun and all, but can't we just keep things low-key with some good ol' fashioned festive cheer instead of having to dress up like a Disney princess or whatever? And what's with the "alpine-inspired" nonsense? Can't they just be honest and say they're serving mediocre holiday food at inflated prices? 
... and omg, the food at frostys sounds AMAZING 
from swiss chalet vibes to sushi and champagne by the glass, it's gonna be a wild ride of culinary delights this december.
