Nadia Gil, a presenter for LVTV, said Long Beach city hall and other city services will be closed on Dec. 25 and that city facilities will also be closed Jan. 1, 2026, for New Year’s Day. "Llegan las fiestas y queremos recordarles que el ayuntamiento y otros servicios estarán cerrados el 25 de diciembre," she said.

The brief directed residents to the city’s website for the full holiday schedule and participating locations. Gil also announced a city program to recycle natural Christmas trees: the city will collect trees free of charge from Dec. 26 through Jan. 9. "Todavía podemos disfrutar de nuestros árboles, pero recuerde que la ciudad ofrece un servicio gratuito de reciclaje de árboles naturales del 26 de diciembre al 9 de enero," she said.

City officials did not provide additional details about collection logistics or a list of drop-off sites during the brief; the presenter advised viewers to "consulte todas las ubicaciones participantes en la página." The announcement was delivered as a short LVTV holiday message and did not include a formal vote or council action.

The city’s website will have the most current information on holiday closures and the tree recycling drop-off locations.
