Hong Kong’s best Christmas lights and displays for 2025

Landmark never disappoints when it comes to annual Christmas displays, and this year’s installation ‘Noëlia’ is no different. We’ve got gingerbread men, we've got an airship, and we’ve got… a whale breaching water? It’s a fantastical scene, to be sure. Noëlia will feature a winter village, a lighthouse, and an interactive wishing lake called Lake Lumière that welcomes visitors to share their heart’s desires, which will then be magnificently displayed. 

After making your wish, you can meet the charming cast of characters at Noëlia, explore their homes and workshops, and take part in even more interactive experiences on-site. Photo opportunities abound, and will surely enchant and delight visitors of all ages.

Well, a Uniqlo Christmas display was not on our 2025 bingo card, but considering wintertime is Heattech time, it kind of makes sense! Uniqlo first landed in Hong Kong 20 years ago with a shop opening at Mira Place, so naturally, a big celebration of this milestone had to happen at the mall as well. From now till January 1, 2026, Mira Place is hosting a Uniqlo-themed Christmas display, with six interactive photo-taking spots for visitors to snap pictures and soak up the festive cheer. 

Among them is a seven-metre-tall Christmas tree, a photo wall made of Uniqlo fleece and Heattech products, a supersized Uniqlo-branded gift box, a snowman-shaped house, a giant beanie, and more! Mira Place also decked out its pedestrian bridge and Mira Steps staircase with festive decor, so there’s even more to explore in and around the mall itself.

The Winter Wonderland has moved from its home on the West Kowloon waterfront to Island side this year, so Statue Square Garden will be home to not only the tallest Christmas tree in town, but also a seasonal Christmas town, a joyous Christmas market, and enough lights, baubles, globes, and illuminated decorations to rival the traditional Christmas markets of Austria, Switzerland, and Germany! 

Meanwhile, nearby Chater Road will transform into ‘Starlight Boulevard’ through dazzling decorations and light displays, an homage to six decades ago when Hongkong Land put on a seasonal light display on the same road – the city’s earliest recorded one, in fact.

“Choo choo” goes the festive train at Christmas Grand Central this holiday season! Pacific Place and Starstreet Precinct are presenting ‘Ticket to Christmas’ from now until January 2, 2026, and this merry yuletide voyage is poised to take visitors on a ride to experience Christmas magic. Expect cute photo ops, whimsical installations, immersive ‘train’ journeys, and even a ‘Santa Express’ where you can meet Santa Claus and snap a photo with the man himself – ticket sales for this meet-and-greet will go toward a good cause, too, as a donation to Operation Santa Claus.

Afterwards, shop for a souvenir at the ‘Wonderbox’ merchandise store, watch live performances, or join an interactive workshop to craft Christmas cake candles, timepieces, and Christmas wreaths! You can register for Santa Express and festive workshops through the Pacific Place website.

New Town Plaza’s NTP Sky Garden is back, and all 40,000 sq ft of this outdoor space will be transformed into a spectacular wonderland this season! Digital art collective Naked Inc. will present a water projection performance called ‘Starlight Whispers: The Symphony of Light and Water’ that combines floral projections, music, and illuminations into a choreographed live show that’s sure to wow visitors.

Festive revellers can continue to bask in the holiday spirit at the ‘Christmas Circus TOWNival’ in New Town Plaza’s third-floor atrium, which features a six-metre-tall Christmas tree slide that will have guests shrieking in delight all the way down. Don’t miss the photo spots, especially the giant snow globe, which makes for jolly pictures that will have you dreaming of a white Christmas.

Disney comes to Tsim Sha Tsui this year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort in grand fashion! Five captivating ‘Magical Christmas @ Harbour City’ photo spots will bring holiday cheer to the Victoria Harbour waterfront and the Harbour City mall, featuring the likes of Mickey and Friends, Duffy and Friends, and World of Frozen. Find your favourite character decked out in festive garb, marvel at the nine-metre-tall ‘Magical Christmas Tree’, meet Duffy and LinaBell in person, and shop from more than 200 Disney-themed merchandise at the ‘Magical Christmas Pop-up Store’.  

Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, and Christmastime is the most magical time of the year, so put the two together, and what do you get? Only the most fabulous festive event of all time! Until January 4, 2026, visitors can step into a world of Christmas magic at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, featuring magical ‘snow’ and brightly decorated Christmas trees at World of Frozen, Disney characters dressed in cosy yuletide styles, a ‘Holiday Wish-Come-True’ tree lighting ceremony to capture the jolliness of the season, and the unmissable ‘Disney Christmas Live in Concert!’ to spread the joyous spirit. 

Coinciding with the release of Zootopia 2, beloved characters Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde will be making appearances at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort’s Adventureland from November 27 onward. Emporium at Main Street, U.S.A. will be stocking a collection of Zootopia-themed products – there’s an adorable doughnut shop whose stock might not be what they seem… The most terrible thing that can happen here is not being able to choose between the recording carrot keychain or the recording carrot pen!
