Dubai: This festive season, Dubai Festival City Mall takes it up a notch with the launch of Winter Tales at Festival Bay. Bringing the Christmas spirit to all visitors, the mall also debuts its brand-new festive-themed IMAGINE show choreographed with lasers, lights, and a fountain.

Open from now until December 28 from 4-10 pm on weekdays and 4 pm-12 am on weekends, the Winter Tales is inspired by stories of the North Pole – home to our dear Santa and his Christmas factory. Encapsulating the magic of the season, this enchanting waterfront scene comprises Santa’s Workshop for little ones to work their magic with arts and crafts, the North Pole Mailboxes where visitors can drop in letters of gratitude and wish lists, a 59 feet tall Christmas tree lit up and adorned in beautiful ornaments, and the most perfect Instagrammable corners to snap the best festive photos.

Add to the experience a visit to Santa’s Grotto to meet the old man himself and take a snap with family and friends between 4-10 pm any day of the week. Visitors can also look out for the talented artist who will draw caricatures with a Christmas spin so to take back home a sweet souvenir from your time at Dubai Festival City Mall.

While engaging in the wonders of the whimsical Winter Tales, look out for a special dance performance by the playful, mischievous Santa’s elves at Festival Bay at 7:30 pm.

While at the mall, shop from a variety of stores, to purchase jolly good gifts for loved ones and have them wrapped perfectly at the Gift Wrapping Station at Festival Bay.

Finally, a visit to Dubai Festival City Mall is incomplete without witnessing its popular IMAGINE show. This festive season, the mall launches a brand-new Christmas-themed IMAGINE show on December 8 and will take place throughout the celebratory period, every evening at 7:30 pm.
