Pacific Palisades is one of Los Angeles’s most distinctive residential communities, a coastal hillside enclave with a strong civic identity organized around Palisades Village, excellent schools, and a quiet, walkable character unlike the rest of sprawling LA.
The January 2026 Palisades Fire tested this community deeply; Pacific Palisades is rebuilding, and the traditions that define this community’s December (the Palisades Village Tree Lighting, the Palisades Holiday Craft & Gift Bazaar, and the intimate family gatherings in Marquez Knolls and throughout the hillside neighborhoods) carry meaning precisely because they are tied to a place people love.
House of Kringle’s Santa Claus serves Pacific Palisades for private home visits and small group gatherings throughout December, bringing premium Live Visits to families wherever they are in the community. Book early. Pacific Palisades is a small, high-demand market.
