1. Frosty’s
Frosty’s is one of the most over-the-top Christmas bars in Los Angeles with tinsel and festive decor covering every square inch of the Hollywood space. After opening in Chicago in 2017, and then debuting a new NYC location in 2022, Frosty’s officially added its third location in Hollywood just a few years ago.
Step into a glittering Christmas wonderland and take endless photos while sipping on specialty cocktails. We’re excited to try Santa’s Mocha Martini with peppermint vodka and cold brew, and the Jolly AF Mocktail with orange, cranberry juice, cinnamon, and star anise.
