Montebello Christmas FAQ
The biggest event is the Winter Wonderland & Tree Lighting at Montebello City Hall, featuring lights, live entertainment, snow slides, and a holiday market.
Montebello’s Winter Wonderland stands out for its snow slides and ice skating rink—uncommon features in Southern California holiday events—alongside the traditional tree-lighting and visits with Santa.
While specific neighborhoods aren’t widely publicized, the area around City Hall is the centerpiece for lights, and nearby residential streets often join in with their own festive displays.
The main holiday market is at Montebello City Hall during Winter Wonderland, with local artisans and food vendors. Smaller craft fairs may also pop up in the area during the season.
Winter Wonderland is free and offers snow slides, ice skating, live entertainment, and visits with Santa. Exploring neighborhood light displays is also a no-cost way to enjoy the season.
Families will enjoy Winter Wonderland’s snow slides, ice skating, photos with Santa, and live performances—all designed to be fun for children and adults alike.
