🎭 Scrooge! The Musical @ Bette Aitken Theater Arts Center | Friday (11/28) at 8:00pm – Holiday spirit running on fumes? Scrooge!

This weekend
🎅 Santa’s Meet & Greet @ Old World Village | Saturday (11/29) at 1:00pm – If you’ve been avoiding the mall Santa like traffic on PCH, head to Old World Church for a free meet and greet in the Village. All ages, real smiles, and an elf who will snap pics on your phone. First come, so come early, then grab strudel.
🎄 Trans-Siberian Orchestra – The Ghosts Of Christmas Eve @ Honda Center | Saturday (11/29) at 3:00pm – Whether your holiday spirit shows up early or needs a loud invitation, Trans-Siberian Orchestra is back in Anaheim with The Ghosts of Christmas Eve. Big guitars, bigger lasers, and just enough nostalgia to make you text the family, then actually enjoy the night.
🎸 The Live Pink Floyd Experience Shine On @ Campus JAX | Saturday (11/29) at 8:00pm – Think you know Dark Side cover bands? This 11-piece recreates Pink Floyd’s near-orchestral punch, running Dark Side end to end, sliding into Wish You Were Here, a Wall medley, and deep cuts.
🍪 Santa’s Milk & Cookies- Cookie Decorating Class @ Lake Forest Sports Park | Sunday (11/30) at 11:00am – Santa’s Milk & Cookies is handing you piping bags and sprinkles, then sending you home with six beautiful, edible trophies. It’s the holiday craft we actually enjoy, with sweet vibes, zero cleanup, and plenty of “one for the cookie, one for me” quality time.
🐶 Pet Photo Session With Santa @ Pacific City | Sunday (11/30) at 4:00pm – Pacific City is doing Santa photos for pets on the Ocean Deck, with Santa holding court in an Airstream, because of course. Reserve to skip the line, bring your leashed furball, and donate a coat if you can, then reward yourself at Simmzy’s.
🎺 Holiday Brass Quintet (Free Show) @ Biergarten at Old World HB Concert Venue | Sunday (11/30) at 4:00pm – Nothing beats live brass in a biergarten on Sundays when your list is longer than PCH. Swing by Old World Village, grab a stein and a brat, then let a free, all-ages brass quintet handle the carols while you browse the Christmas Market, and exhale.
Next week
🎶 Lil’ Dickens Carolers @ Roger’s Gardens | Monday (12/1) at 9:00am – Do your gift browsing at Roger’s Gardens and let a quartet of strolling carolers handle the soundtrack. Expect classics, sacred hymns, and a little jazzy mischief, all without Bluetooth drama. It’s festive, charming, and conveniently pairs with a Farmhouse nibble.
🌳 Bonsai Workshop at Let it Brie @ Let it Brie | Tuesday (12/2) at 6:00pm – If your houseplants have been living on hope and podcasts, upgrade to a tiny tree at Let it Brie, with wine, charcuterie, and actual guidance. You’ll pot, prune, and style your own bonsai, guaranteed survivor status, then toast your newfound horticultural competence.
