Instagram this: walk through the world’s largest video kaleidoscope in Hong Kong this Christmas
The Landmark, IFC, Pacific Place, Harbour City, Elements, Langham Place and New Town Plaza get creative by decorating their spaces with special offerings for the festive season
Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, a time for family reunions and a time for Hong Kong to light up and brighten up with decorations.
For most of the city’s shopping malls, this is the time to show off their creativity as they decorate their spaces, offering something special to wow shoppers.
From traditional Christmas motifs to splendid designs and lovely cartoons, these malls are out to impress and surprise, creating special Instagrammable moments and special family time with the young ones.
In Central, The Landmark is celebrating the festive season with a cocoa-inspired Christmas installation in its atrium. Featuring a cocoa forest, a chocolate river, a whimsical chocolate factory and more than 70 cocoa monsters, the kaleidoscopic installation comes to life with seasonal music and spectacular lighting every 30 minutes until New Year’s Day.
The mall has also created merchandise, such as plush toys, tote bags and key chains, featuring the cocoa monster characters. All proceeds will be donated to Make-A-Wish Hong Kong.
Another major mall in Central, IFC, is collaborating with the Northern Lights Santa Academy, a Santa school in the US, to bring the academy to the city. The installation comprises six interactive checkpoints about Santa. Shoppers will receive a certificate sticker and can “graduate” by collecting stamps after taking part in activities such as learning Santa’s laugh (ho ho ho!), dressing like him and postcard writing.
A performance titled “Jingle Jangle Carnival”, featuring an aerial acrobatic show, a trampoline act and a dynamic dance routine, will be presented twice a day at 12.45pm and 6.30pm from December 13 to 26.
