✨ LA's Ultimate Christmas Vibe｜Americana at Brand

If you're in Los Angeles this holiday season, don't miss Americana at Brand in Glendale! It’s been completely transformed into a sparkling winter wonderland—perfect for photos, dining, shopping, and soaking in the festive magic. 🌟❄️ Designed by renowned developer Rick Caruso, this place feels like a charming mini-city with lawns, fountains, and a vintage trolley. It’s lovely year-round, but during the holidays, it’s absolutely breathtaking! The adorable red trolley was designed by former Disney Imagineer George F. McGinnis—no wonder strolling here often feels like wandering down Main Street at Disneyland! 🏰💖 🎄 Must-See Holiday Highlights: · Magical Tree Lighting: The centerpiece Christmas tree is spectacular (in past years, it stood over 100 feet tall with tens of thousands of lights!). The lighting ceremony is a major event—the 2025 ceremony was held on November 17. · Romantic Fake Snow: Every night (usually at 7 PM & 8 PM), "snow" falls in the central fountain area—a rare and dreamy experience in Southern California! ❄️💫 · Meet Santa Claus: Visit and take photos with Santa until December 24! 🎅📸 · Shopping & Dining: Beyond the decor, it’s an amazing open-air shopping center with around 75 stores and diverse restaurants. Warm up with a specialty hot chocolate for the full holiday vibe! ☕🎁 📝 Tips & Details: · 📍 Address: 889 Americana Way, Glendale, CA 91210 · 📅 Holiday Season: Typically runs from late November to early January—check their website for this year’s schedule. · 🎟️ Admission: Free to enter and enjoy the events! · 🅿️ Parking: On-site parking is available.
