Hollywood and holiday movies are as interwoven as a colorful paper chain, the sort of decoration that encircles so many Christmas trees.
But a cinematic holiday escapade in Hollywood can occur off-screen, too, if we know where to go and when.

Ovation Hollywood is all about the free and festive music when Christmas is around the corner, with a cappella pop, classic caroling, and other sweet sights 'n sounds gracing the outdoor stage.
