THANK YOU for subjecting yourself to this event to forewarn smart viewers! Only in LA would hundreds of people pay through the nose to shuffle around a parking lot and wait in huge lines in the name of holiday spirit😂 The most festive part of this looked to be the food tent where people could sit and eat their overpriced food. Head to Solvang, the Mission Inn, or your local mall for a more enjoyable experience.

Why would anyone go to this disgusting cash grab? It's the skid row of global Christmas markets ... and you need to pay to get in. This doesn't make me proud of my city or make me want to spend money with the merchants who populate the market. It's simply missing any of the magic of a real Christmas market.

I'm in three different shots of this 🤦🏼‍♀️ it was an absolute disaster. We requested refund from the apple cider place-after almost a half hour waiting. This is nothing like a European Christmas market. Most of the stalls are the same ones you see at every flea market. The man giving the wristbands out was really sympathetic and said "I've seen a lot of disappointed faces tonight". We also ended up bailing and getting Ramen in little Tokyo. The organizers have been removing and hiding comments on IG. I got blocked after leaving a civil negative comment. I received a refund through eventbrite. It turns out that the igloo rentals were cancelled on people due to not having it together that night. And it opened super late due to issues with fire Marshall permits. The cheese fondue is actually canned cheese sauce. Evidently the mashed potatoes are instant and the berry sauce on the Swedish meatballs is smuckers jam. If you were picturing a west coast version of the Christmas village in Philadelphia, this isn't it.

If it had been free entry I would probably agree with you. But they are charging $20-27pp for entry to start - *including* kids over 2 years old! And to change the hours just days before opening when tickets had already been sold?

I received so many Facebook ads on this LA XMas mart a few weeks ago so it piqued my interest. After watching this video, I'm glad I did not buy admission. This is not a European style XMas Market. This is a Night Market serving mostly European food. As others have commented, the Mission Inn in Riverside is FREE and much better. The other XMAs market worth attending but it's all the way out in Cambria near Hearst Castle. If you must pay for admission, then go to the Dickens XMas Faire held at the Cow Palace in South San Francisco

Best place to eat is Farmers Market outside the event! We brought water in our purse lol, I thought they’ll be snow machines at least or a skate place, even a reindeer pet spot in my mind, I wanted Europeans bringing the meat department like sausages, and not getting any stickers or crocs, At least if you give me no Euro please give me a pepperoni pizza nowhere to be found. I like in my opinion the Christ wooden shop, Christmas! I guess LA is been naughty and got Coal! But is just me. Lots of homeless outside and a thin paper telling me Is not time?….

Not enough lighting...it was dark in several spots. Not what i expected. Ive been to other several Cbristmas Markets and this one was FAR FAR the WoORSE i've been to.

There is an ongoing Reddit thread on r/LosAngeles that details how awful this really is. From the food to the lack of overall effort and silencing/blocking of people with legitimate complaints on their social media accounts. The organizers really are a bunch of snakes.
