Each December, a small cul de sac in El Segundo transforms into Candy Cane Lane–a neighborhood where all the houses are festively decorated to celebrate winter and Christmas. It’s great to bring a mug of hot cocoa and stroll the street, taking in the lights and music and dropping in to say hello to Santa. Here are a few shots from this year’s visit – enjoy!
