![Plenty to do in and near L.A. in the run-up to Christmas - Los Angeles Times](https://www.latimes.com/resizer/EHxJbV5To0M60Mx14kwGcv70cng=/1200x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/E2BKRL5SZVDSFMU2LPXIPPXH6M.jpg)
Perfect your pronunciation of glædelig jul —“Merry Christmas” in Danish — for Solvang Julefest, a monthlong holiday celebration in the streets of Solvang. Take a candlelight tour of the festively decorated city, meet Santa and Mrs. Claus at Solvang Park, and find Danish nisser (gnomes) hidden around town to win a prize. Julefest runs daily through Jan. 6, but Dec. 22 is the last day to enjoy a Santa visit and the candlelight tour.
