The holiday season in Santa Monica kicks off with street celebrations, including this perennial favorite, in which shops stay open late and offer entertainment and free refreshments (last year the eggnog was a knock-out). This year’s attractions feature a Christmas Tree lighting at Ocean Park and Main followed by a candlelight walk to the amazing Shopping Cart Christmas Tree at Edgemar Center, where the Off Their Jingle Bell Rockers (pictured) will perform holiday songs with incredible harmonies and humor.
