I LOVE Christmas! I mean LOVVEEEEEEE Christmas! We went to Descanso Gardens to see their holiday lights, although it wasn't quite Disneyland spectacular, it was an enchanting evening and a perfect night out with friends! We went December 2016 so there may be some slightly newer enhancements this year!

Parking was free and there were plenty of spots. Don't forget your coat though, it was pretty chilly for Los Angeles!
Here are the 5 gardens you CANNOT miss this Holiday season!
Color Changing Tulip Garden
There were little food stands and bars throughout so you could sit and have cocoa or wine or wine cocoa! There is also a restaurant called Maple but all reservations were booked up the week we were going, so plan ahead!
It was about a mile walk all the way around. It was a few more steps if you were circling around trees and jumping on lights! :)
2. Hanging Lights on Trees
The colors of the reflected lights added extra enchantment here. This was my favorite part!
Sing it with me... "IIIIIIIIII wannnna swingggg from the chandelierrrrrr"
It’s hard to see, but these beautiful shimmery lights looked like millions of colored stars!
3. Lights you can step or JUMP on
Ok, sometimes the lights were too bright, but these did make fun sounds when you stepped on them!
These lights were even better! The lights lit up as you stepped (or jumped) on them!
4. Japanese Garden
Next up was the Japanese garden filled with glowing red lanterns.
5. Enchanted Forest of Light Garden
My favorite part was the Enchanted Forest with the pretty trees lit to look like fairies or some kind of majestic creature lived there!
