If you live in Southern California, you could be taking in the Corona del Mar Village Christmas Walk on Dec.3, 2017. The very SoCal affair includes high Santa fashion to urban casual amidst a busy setting along iconic Pacific Coast Highway, also known as California Highway 1 or State Route 1.  Lined with shops and eateries just blocks from the Pacific Ocean in the Newport Beach community, the daytime affair includes shops such as See’s Candy offering samples, a dozen bands lining the thoroughfare, vendors with outdoor tables selling gift items, face painters for kids’ enjoyment, and Santa Claus posing for selfies with sunglass-clad babies and pups.

Not everyone can drop by and see the latest in women’s high-heeled boots (a must-have for the trendy set,) but you’ll be equally happy attending a Christmas walk in your community. We’ve found a few to get you started:
