The holidays are going to look a little different in 2020. Maybe you’re staying home instead of traveling. Perhaps instead of a big family gathering, it’s just you and your parents eating latkes this year. Or hey, maybe you’re just stuck in your apartment, sharing some Christmas prime rib with your two roommates and their four cats. No matter how you’re spending the season, LA’s restaurants are here for you, with holiday specials running for Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year’s Eve, or any other reason to celebrate this month.

We’ll be updating this list often as more restaurants release holiday specials, so check back. If you know a place that should be included, please send an email to losangeles@theinfatuation.com.
