Most people outside of L.A. don’t think of it as a winter wonderland—but I sure do. Once the first winter storm of the season rolls through, the eastern peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains become blanketed in snow, and you might even be lucky enough to spot some powder from the first few miles of Angeles Crest Highway. But those snowstorms have yet to arrive, and it was literally 80 degrees earlier this week. So how are you supposed to feel the holiday spirit? With some fake snow. Just like the real stuff, these manufactured flakes are water-based and dissolve pretty much on contact (and one Crenshaw-area company, MagicSnow, is behind most of the displays you’ll find in the region). If you can’t be bothered to drive hours to a ski resort but just want to see some festive flurries—regardless of whether they came from a cloud or a machine—then head to these malls and theme parks over the next couple of weeks before they wrap up their annual Christmas events. Westfield Century City Through December 26, you’ll find some surprisingly thick snowfall at the open-air Westside mall’s holiday village. Flurries fall Monday through Wednesday at noon, 2, 4, 6 and 8pm, and that pace picks up Thursday through Sunday, when you’ll find it at noon, 2pm and then every half hour between 4 and 8pm, with a finale at 9pm.

In addition to the towering tree and lights, you can see snowfall at 6 and 8pm through December 31 (except for Christmas Eve). The Americana at Brand The Grove’s Glendale sibling offers a similar snowfall offering, with flurries nightly at 7 and 8pm through December 31.   Photograph: Michael Juliano for Time OutGrinchmas at Universal Studios Hollywood   Universal Studios Hollywood Am I a little bewildered by the seeming surge of nostalgia for the live-action version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas? Yes. But I absolutely get the love for Grinchmas, Universal Studios Hollywood’s Whoville-set celebration in the park’s central plaza. Through January 6, expect a snow flurry to cap off each Seussian tree lighting (roughly every 45 minutes or so in the evening—check the schedule once you’re inside the park). Disneyland The happiest place on earth has a bunch of opportunities to see snow each night during its holiday celebrations, which run through January 6. Inside the park, a brief lighting ceremony at Sleeping Beauty Castle (7:30, 8:30pm) wraps up with snowfall along Main Street, USA, and you’ll find the same after the 9:30pm fireworks. Look out for a few reprises of the flurries starting about an hour or so before the park closes, too. Outside the ticket turnstiles, you can see snow at Downtown Disney for free; head toward the stage on the western end of the shopping district and you’ll find a few minutes of snow roughly every half hour between 6 and 10pm. The Citadel Everyone’s favorite freeway-adjacent, Assyrian-themed outlet mall topped with an illuminated bow complements its colossal Christmas tree with snow at 5, 6, 7 and 8pm in its center court. Find it through December 31. Six Flags Magic Mountain Most of us flock to Six Flags for the (potentially stomach-churning) adrenaline rush of a bunch of massive roller coasters, but there’s some festive charm here, too, during Holiday in the Park, which runs through January 5. Starting at 5pm, you’ll find snowfall every 20 minutes at Holiday Square, located just inside the park entrance. Knott’s Berry Farm The Knott’s Merry Farm festivities (which run through January 5) at this OC theme park bring snow to the Ghost Town area starting around sunset, and every hour until closing.
