For transplants especially, the winter blues are different in LA — since there’s no snow, the blues can come from a lack of holiday cheer and winter vibe rather than actual gray skies. But there are plenty of places in LA to feel wintery — which is why you should hit all the spots below if you’re feeling homesick:
The Grove
Mid-Wilshire
During the Holiday season, The Grove has one of the tallest lit-up Christmas trees outside of Rockefeller Center, roasted chestnuts carts (a personal favorite), enough twinkly lights to light a small city, and nightly “snow” showers at 7 and 8pm to momentarily coat the streets with a sheen of white (but, like, soap bubble white, not freezing rain white) magic.
