Christmas 2022

Christmas is just around the corner and Hong Kong is getting into the holiday spirit with festive, immersive installations all across town throughout December

Visit K11 Musea for a chance to win a BMW – and to check out the first-ever outdoor ice rink in the city – or get some Christmas shopping done at K11 Art Mall’s Swedish winter market

With the nights getting longer, the temperature dropping, and red and green adornments found around seemingly every corner, it can only mean one thing – Christmas is roaring to life in Hong Kong … and invading our public spaces. The lights, tinsel and festive garb are in full swing across the city’s shopping malls.

Here’s our pick of glittering installations to check out – all currently on display and in place throughout the entire month of December.

Santa isn’t the only one with a team of helpers – Mrs Claus has enlisted 80 pairs of extra hands to create a range of sweet treats at the Landmark-based bakery’s Christmas installation. Digital experiences include the chance to design your own avatar, and send own AR Christmas e-card or share a series of festive WhatsApp stickers. Landmark is also hosting a range of on-site activities, including the chance to step inside its giant gingerbread house and the endless photo opportunities that promises. Tickets for on-site experiences can be reserved online, with proceeds from ticket sales supporting charity partners of the Hongkong Land Home Fund.

There are more than 180 festive offerings in store at K11 Musea’s harbourfront affair. Golden Christmas trees line the area, while a gilded merry-go-round takes centre stage at the sculpture park. From curated shopping experiences to festive dining options and a fashion exhibition co-presented with London’s V&A museum, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Don’t miss the Christmas village pop-up market, and Hong Kong’s first-ever outdoor ice rink, plus the chance to win a BMW i4 M50 Gran Coupé, valued at more than HK$750,000.

3. UniChristmas at Harbour City

This Christmas, Harbour City transforms its Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront space into a festive affair themed around a unicorn merry-go-round. A 10-metre Christmas tree stands proudly in the Ocean Terminal forecourt, while the six merry-go-rounds each boast distinctive designs. The largest of these is accompanied by five suspended Christmas trees and a series of stars dangling from the ceiling.
