Los Angeles Holiday Exclusive 🎄 A Better Pick Than The Grove

I visited both The Grove and Glendale’s Americana over the past two days—and honestly, while The Grove is famous, it was way too crowded for me đŸ„Ž. Parking is expensive, it’s packed with people, there are few brands to shop at, and the restaurants are total cash grabs (a single taco costs over $8 đŸ”Ș and isn’t even that good!). That said, its Christmas-themed decor is stunning—you can take beautiful photos anywhere you snap 😍. But if you want to avoid crowds, shop comfortably, eat well, and take nice photos, Glendale’s Americana is a must-visit! Tucked at the foot of Griffith Observatory, this spot has it all. Right next to Americana is the massive indoor shopping mall Glendale Galleria—parking is free, Din Tai Fung is right at the entrance, and you can enjoy both the outdoor Christmas market, shopping, and great food in one trip. Every evening at 6 PM and 8 PM, they have artificial snow—creating a romantic scene of “snowflakes” falling đŸ„°. There are also live performances, a scenic trolley that loops around the area, and water shows + Christmas lights that run until 10 PM. Head to the 3rd floor of the Barnes & Noble bookstore for a bird’s-eye view of the entire square—it’s absolutely gorgeous đŸ€©! Cross the zebra crossing from Americana, and you’ll reach Glendale Galleria. Combined, the two malls have tons of brands—shopping here is super convenient. Americana has everything The Grove does
 and even more things The Grove doesn’t 😅. The beautiful holiday decor and Christmas tree will stay up until the end of next week’s holiday season. If you haven’t gone yet, it’s worth a visit â˜ș. Even outside of Christmas, Americana has the charm of a European town—it’s the perfect spot for a little getaway any time of year. ❄ P.S. Did you know what artificial snow is made of? Coming from the freezing Great Lakes region (where real snow is everywhere), I saw artificial snow for the first time—it was so fun! I grabbed a handful and realized it’s actually foam đŸ«§. Learned something new! Americana at Brand: Park at Glendale Galleria (free parking). The Grove: Parking costs $5/hour; you can park for free at the nearby Ross, but you need to make a purchase there. 📍 Address & Hours 889 Americana Way, Glendale, CA 91210⏰ Hours: Mon–Thu: 10:00–21:00 Fri–Sat: 10:00–22:00 Sun: 11:00–20:00 #HappyMomentsInDailyLife #ChristmasMarketTour #ChristmasVibesAround #GreatChristmasSpots #Christmas #LosAngelesChristmas #LosAngelesPlacesToVisit #LosAngelesTravel #USATravel #LosAngelesLife
