We here at Mommy Poppins love all our holiday events equally. The Christmas lightsthe boat paradesthe holiday-themed train rides. What's not to love? It's just that we love some a little more equally than others.

Like Disney on Ice. The touring ice show is the perfect match of world class athleticism and stunning artistry, paired with the most beloved characters known to childhood. Call us un poco loco, but we simply love Disney on Ice.

And the Lythgoe Family Panto productions: Broadway caliber showmanship paired with absolute inability to take anything, least of all itself, seriously. Laughs and awestruck gasps and goosebumps from all the talent on stage.  Mirror, mirror on the wall, what's our most wanted ticket of all? That would be Snow White, headlined this year by Disney Channel star Olivia Sanabia.

Do we love the latest Disney Animation feature, venturing into the unknoooooown and ruling the box office? Or do we love the many ways our SoCal kids can venture into the snow without getting frozen? Do we love the unique spins local venues put on holiday celebrations? Or do we love the fact that we can start celebrating Hanukkah 8 crazy days early (give or take—you do the math)? Which is our favorite? How do we choose? Why should we? If there's one thing we've learned as mothers, it's that there is more than enough love to go around.

Keep reading for our choices for this weekend, all equally loved, including the ones that are loved more.
