FrostyFest Returns December 11–22, 2025 — L.A.’s Holiday Performing Arts Festival Celebrating Theatre, Comedy, and Film at The Hobgoblin Playhouse LOS ANGELES, CA — FrostyFest, Los Angeles’ annual holiday performing arts festival, returns December 11–22, 2025 to The Hobgoblin Playhouse (1516 N. Gardner St., Los Angeles). Presented by The StageCrafts, the festival features a diverse collection of short plays, comedic holiday adaptations, and a curated film festival featuring local artists and independent creators from around the world.The 2025 lineup includes crowd favorites such as A Very DIE HARD Christmas, WHO’S HOLIDAY!, A Very Toiley Christmas, The Winter’s Tale in 60 Minutes, A Christmas Carol in 60 Minutes, The Elf Chronicles, and the FrostyFest Film Festival. A Mission Rooted in Expanding Opportunities for Independent Artists FrostyFest is part of a broader initiative created by Jenn and Greg Crafts, owners of The StageCrafts, who identified a gap in opportunities for indie producers and creators in Los Angeles' saturated arts landscape. To address this need, they developed a year-round series of mini genre-based festivals, each spotlighting specific themes - holidays, mysteries, Sci-fi, fantasy and more. FrostyFest serves as the joyful winter-season centerpiece of that mission.“FrostyFest was our first mini-festival we produced last year and since then we’ve seen great success with MythicFest and SpookyFest, but FrostyFest is always the best attended. Audiences love to have fun, different and affordable holiday events to attend,” said Jenn Crafts.
