Emperors Palace ushered in the festive season in grand style recently with its much-loved annual Christmas Village.

The highly anticipated showcase marked the official launch of the resort’s festive programme and featured a ceremonial ribbon-cutting led by Emperors Palace complex executive, Clive Tavener.

This year’s theme, ‘A Snowy White Christmas’, was revealed during the preview evening, offering guests a first look at the Village’s elaborate upgrades and expanded attractions.

Among the most notable additions is the brand-new Coca-Cola Ski Deck, located on Level 4 of the parking structure, an exciting feature already generating plenty of buzz.

As expected, the Christmas Village delivered an immersive, magical experience, complete with shimmering lights, themed zones, festive installations, and family-friendly attractions set to delight thousands of visitors throughout December.

“Each year, the Christmas Village grows not only in scale but also in its ability to share the spirit of the festive season.

“We are proud to offer a festive experience that captures the magic of the season and creates lasting memories for our guests,” said Tavener.

This year’s festive wonderland, enchanting themed areas, include:
• The tunnel of lights
• The North Pole
• The Winter village

The evening also highlighted a range of artisanal stalls, festive treats, and holiday-themed photo opportunities. The Christmas Village will run until December 30, with daily afternoon and evening time slots available.
