A Christmas Dream Come True at Christmas Town
One of the key highlights of WinterFest 2025 is the Christmas Town in Statue Square Gardens, Central. This vibrant attraction will bring the magic of Christmas to life with a 20-metre-high Christmas tree, oversized toy-themed installations, and a Christmas market featuring more than 12 chalets.

With the perfect backdrop of glittering lights, the area will offer a true Christmas experience in the heart of Hong Kong’s financial district.
Immersive Light Shows That Will Leave You in Awe
A truly immersive light experience awaits as the Immersive Light Show in Central comes to life between 28 November 2025 and 4 January 2026. Over eight iconic Hong Kong buildings including the Bank of China Tower and HSBC Main Building, 3D projections of reindeer, snowmen, angels, and gift boxes will dance across the facades, perfectly timed to a musical soundtrack. The light displays are designed to mesmerize visitors and showcase the architectural beauty of Hong Kong through the lens of festive celebrations. The event brings the buildings themselves to life, offering visitors a spectacular visual experience unlike any other.
The Starlight Boulevard: A Pathway of Lights
Adding to the festive cheer, Chater Road will transform into Starlight Boulevard throughout the holiday period.
