Get into the Christmas spirit with K11 Musea
The harbourside shopping mall celebrates the holiday with an opulent Christmas tree, a market featuring artisanal brands and more
As temperatures dip, an air of festivity descends on Hong Kong as the city goes to great lengths to remind people why this is the most wonderful time of the year. Buildings lining both sides of Victoria Harbour get special lighting displays for the season, making the famous skyline even more spectacular than usual, while shopping centres across town draw crowds with lavish Christmas installations and a packed programme of events.
K11 Musea, known for its art installations that promote creativity and culture, raises the bar this year for holiday cheer with its Seven Festive Wonders celebration. Visitors can expect an array of festive delights, including Christmas markets and a range of festive offerings courtesy of fashion powerhouse Dior.
Christmas trees are the centrepiece of every Hong Kong shopping centre’s holiday celebrations. Among the most impressive this year is K11 Musea’s 12-metre-tall (39-foot) tree and an accompanying fairy tale-inspired carriage installation by Dior, which form part of the Dior Ball of Dreams festivities that run until January 2.
Inspired by the Palace of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris, the Dior Ball of Dreams also transforms K11 Musea’s grand atrium, known as the Opera Theatre, into Louis XIV’s opulent royal court – the perfect backdrop for a photo that captures the holiday spirit with an added touch of luxury.
Visitors can also check out the French fashion house’s pop-up beauty boutique on the ground floor, where they can shop for exclusive holiday gifts such as the limited-edition Le 30 Montaigne Advent Calendar with a collection of Dior fragrances, beauty and skincare products.
To round out the label’s seasonal offerings, the Artisan Lounge will also be turned into Café Dior, which will serve festive cocktails and an exclusive high tea inspired by the brand’s famous fragrances.
Another highlight of K11 Musea’s Christmas celebrations is the return of its annual Christmas Village pop-up. Running until January 1 at one of the shopping centre’s rooftop gardens on the sixth floor, the Christmas Village celebrates creativity and artistry with more than 50 curated booths offering holiday-themed artisanal crafts and gourmet treats from local and international brands.
