Los Angeles's Christmas season, in the western U.S. state of California, kicked off with a roar on Sunday as life-sized dinosaurs from the "Dinosaurs in the Valley" live show rampaged down Hollywood Blvd in the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade.
Hosted by TV stars Eric Estrada and Laura McKenzie, and with actor and philanthropist Danny Trejo serving as the grand marshall, the parade celebrated its 90th anniversary this year.
It went all out, featuring giant balloons, floats, marching bands, vocal performers, international performers and the largest group of Chinese performers ever presented in its 90-year history.
