LA Guide for getting in the holiday spirit

’Tis the days before Christmas, when all through the city, you, Diva, are wondering what on earth to do to make your season bright.

Enter a diva’s winter wonderland at the W Hotel Westwood, known for its hipster ice rink: Chill. Sure, the ice is faux–but so is your fur coat. Rent some skates and twirl to the DJ, then, sip spiked hot chocolate at the Snowy Snack Bar. 930 Hilgard Ave.

Of all L.A.’s many wonders, nothing tops snow-filled nights (fake, of course), shopping, holiday décor galore, and a 50 ft. Christmas tree at The Grove. Shop for gifts and anything sequined, blow kisses to the reindeer, then, tell Santa your wish list. 189 The Grove Dr., West Hollywood, 323.900.8080

The holidays wouldn’t be complete without sugar, spice and everything nice, so the new ChocolateBox Café at the Malibu Lumber Yard couldn’t have opened sooner. Treat yourself to the hot chocolate bar, assorted ganaches, gift boxes and more. (It’s OK, you just worked out.) 3939 Cross Creek Road, Malibu, 310.456.7977.

They say it’s the most wonderful time of the year, but Diva, you’re always merry bright.
