Walking into Suria KLCC’s Centre Court this festive season feels like stepping into a storybook European Christmas Village. From 22 November to 25 December 2024, the space has been transformed into a picturesque holiday market, complete with timber-framed stalls and cobblestone pathways. Lined with glittering Christmas trees, the village boasts enchanting stops like a florist, a bakery, and a toy shop, all brimming with holiday cheer.
At the florist, I joined a delightful Christmas Cupcake Decoration Workshop and Wreath Workshop, crafting a festive masterpiece to bring home. Nearby, the bakery’s DIY Donut Workshop tempted many to decorate their own sweet treats. Meanwhile, the gift shop’s festive photobooth, styled like a cozy Christmas postcard, offered a keepsake photo to capture the memories.
The star attraction? An ornate horse carriage stationed in the village, a picture-perfect spot for Instagram-worthy snaps. Outside at the Esplanade KLCC, the 100-foot Christmas tree sparkles brightly, a dazzling beacon of holiday joy. The festivities continue with Santa Claus meet-and-greets on Saturdays, Christmas carol sing-alongs on Sundays, and a lively dance performance on Christmas Day itself.
Shoppers aren’t left out of the celebration. Spend RM2,500 in two receipts and walk away with RM100 in Suria KLCC Shopping e-Vouchers. The first 50 shoppers purchasing RM1,000 e-vouchers will also be treated to an extra RM100 e-voucher.
Francis Tan, CEO of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd, sums it up beautifully: “Suria KLCC is a place where memories are made and experiences are shared, especially during the festive season.”
