Anyone who lives in Corona knows that it is impossible to find new things to do with your friends, especially during the holidays. However, there are so many places you can celebrate the holidays, just outside of Corona. Here is some information on those places and when they are open!

1) The Mission Inn: Festival of Lights

This Christmas festival is well-known to Corona and Riverside residents. The festival takes place at the Mission Inn Hotel in Riverside, which is only about 45 minutes away from Corona! The festival opens at 4:30 pm and will be running for the entire month of December.
