I just looked at the Carlsbad Village website and couldn't find anything going on Christmas Day or Eve aside from mass. I suspect, given the small town nature of the place, many places will close. You might try contacting specific spots you might be interested in visiting to see if they are open.

The shops in the village close early at 5:00. The outlet mall that isn't far away would be the only stores open until 9:00pm.

That is from Legoland.

Not bad. I won't go in but my kids will.

Not sure why this came as a question. My comment is that it is a great place to visit.

I would start at the Starbucks near the corner of Carlsbad Village Dr. and the Coast that extends to Oceanside, the name changes but google it, it's on the same street as the Naval Academy. Grab a latte and walk behind the Starbucks to the shopping center there is a post office gift store and around the corner from it is a boutique called Mermaids . The store carries high quality clothing and gifts that range in low to high prices. If you have a best friend and want something charming to bring home from your trip, I recommend you stop there. The store also carries beachy clothing that is a little pricey if not on sale. There are also other clothing, gift, children's stores along with restaurants and art galleries there. The restaurant across from the gift \ post office has live music and dancing on the patio on Sunday nights (or at least used to). Parking is free behind the Starbucks and in the shopping center. Have fun!

At Carlsbad Village Dr. and the main Coast Highway there is a small shopping center and a Starbucks. There is a lot of parking there. There is also free parking near the beach. It's not that bad really. If you plan to go the the Farmer's Market I'd go early for street parking.
