The Angel Tree in Lawndale, with a large white angel on top that shines like a star, is another great sight in Los Angeles County. The tree is covered in yellow lights and adorned with ornaments. At the bottom, there is a poinsettia. This display is especially beautiful at night, when its lights illuminate the area around it for both residents and visitors.

Light Up the Christmas Tree in Manhattan Beach

This small Christmas tree, perched atop the Round House Aquarium, was photographed in daylight, so its lights are not visible. The tree is green, with red lights in the middle and a yellow star that lights up. Manhattan Beach, which is close by, also has a fun Christmas tree display along the beach during the holidays. There is a tree-lighting ceremony and fireworks. This makes the beach a nice place for both locals and tourists.

Spreading Holiday Joy Across Los Angeles County

These public Christmas trees help spread holiday cheer throughout Los Angeles County. If you don’t have a tree at home, going to these outdoor displays is a simple and fun way to get into the holiday spirit.
