Ice skating during the holiday season is cliche, but oh-so-cute. Balancing on razor thin blades atop a frozen body of water makes for a good excuse to hold hands with that potential special someone.

Pershing Square’s outdoor rink is the most affordable option in L.A.! Admission is just $6 (+ $2 skate rental), and scheduled special events include a free concert series, a free Winter Holiday Festival, weekend Kids Zone interactive entertainment, an outdoor Cityscape Art Gallery Exhibit and more!

Mittens for two? You just might find a pair at the Craftacular!

Disneyland

One of the best parts about living in SoCal is the easy access to awesome theme parks. Disneyland is a blast anytime of the year, but in December, it’s magical (there, I said it.) Ride the rides, share a funnel cake and end the night with their holiday parade and fireworks show.
Pretty much perfect.

The Grove

Quite possibly the most festive place to celebrate the holidays in L.A.

With fake snow falling on the hour (this is L.A., after all), a ginormous Christmas tree on display and plenty of shops and restaurants to keep you both entertained, this is one surefire spot to get you in a merry mood.

Home of the NHL's Anaheim Ducks team, the Honda Center was once known as Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim. The 18,000-seat arena serves as both hockey rink and events center, with many top-name traveling performers gracing the stage year-round. The arena sits on the southeast side of the city, near the Angel Stadium of Anaheim, where the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim play ball.
