The Mooneyes Christmas Party is always one of our favorite events of the year, and I really do miss it now that I live in Texas. It was one of those annual shows that we really looked forward to each year. It was at Irwindale Speedway for many years, and was limited in size because of it, but now that it has moved to Pomona there is a lot more room which means even more hot rods, race cars, and customs. Plus lots of bikes, models, and vendors as well. It was one of our favorite places to Christmas shop too!
In the video below from FunWithLopez you’ll get to see what the 2025 edition, a celebration of 75 years of Mooneyes, was like.
Let us know what your favorite hot rod, custom, and model were from the show in the comments below.
Video Description:
The Mooneyes Christmas Party Show & Drag 2025 at the Pomona Fairplex delivered an unforgettable celebration of Kustom Kulture and high-octane drag racing. Held on December 20, 2025, this legendary Southern California car show marked a historic milestone as Mooneyes celebrated its 75th Anniversary at its brand-new venue, the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, following the closure of Irwindale Speedway.
The atmosphere was electric, with the scent of nitro and the thunderous roar of engines filling the air from sunrise to sunset. We captured the complete Mooneyes 2025 experience, showcasing an elite collection of hot rods, custom builds, lowriders, and rat rods. A major highlight of our coverage included the stunning models and pin-up girls posing alongside these rolling works of art, perfectly capturing the timeless “eyes” aesthetic. Seeing these talented models bring the classic rockabilly style to life in front of the world-class builds added an incredible layer of authenticity to the show. We had the opportunity to say hello to the beautiful Georjah Erin.
On the legendary strip, the 1/8 mile drag racing action was relentless, featuring classic gassers and vintage dragsters. The festivities continued with a glamorous Pin-up Girl Contest, intricate pinstriping demos, and live sets from The Rockets and The Outlaw Daddies. As one of the most anticipated 2025 car shows, this year-end festival honored the legacy of Dean Moon in spectacular fashion.
