It's still a long way to go before Christmas but this travel blog series of mine makes me reminisce especially the Christmas seasons as I only experienced and witnessed things here in HK that I have never experienced before.
Since you guys like virtual tours, let me take this opportunity to share with you how HK transformed into a wonderland during the Christmas season. It has been their annual events to turn the famous landmarks and malls into wonderlands to allow tourists and locals to experience a world-class and one-of-a-kind experience in their whole stay here in HK.
HK may not have snow during winter, but what makes the holiday seasons unforgettable and worth it are the magical Christmas displays all over HK. From kids to the elderly, everyone will surely amaze and enjoy roaming around HK and visiting the landmarks and malls with spectacular Christmas displays that usually run for the whole month of December.
The top places that I usually visited every December are:
Tsim Sha Tsui
Central
Causeway Bay
Admiralty
But you can also find other amazing Christmas displays in other parts of HK.
First of all, I will introduce my beautiful HK friends, my travel buddies, from left Rachelle, Michelle, Yours truly, and Abbie.
Ako lang hndi malaman 🤣Ako lang hndi malaman 🤣
The photo above was taken at Landmark Atrium in Central. We visited this place after attending the Christmas mass at St. John Parish in Central HK last 2018.
Landmark Atrium is the most visited place of Central HK during the holiday seasons and my top destination because of its spectacular and magical Christmas display. Every year, they have different themes and displays that everyone, especially kids, loves to visit. The place is always full despite the pandemic restrictions last December 2020.
Cocoa monsters have overtaken Landmark last December 2018. The luxury mall was transformed into a chocolate-filled forest and rivers, along with spectacular lights and Christmas music, that filled the Atrium with festive cheer. The monsters weren't scary, but adorable during this season.
The Atrium was overtaken by Santa Paws and Toy Shop was built for the kids to play with. There's no snow in HK, but the Santa Paws village was dusted with snow. I love most especially the cute Christmas carolers that walk through the village train station. There was also a dancing giant snowman and reindeer and some visitors stopped by the Wishing Machine.
Santa Paws has extended their holidays in HK and this year, they tag along with their Polar Paws friends. The giant snowman has changed his attire and the giant Christmas tree in the center of the village was truly spectacular.
Among all cities of HK, TST has a lot of Christmas displays every Christmas season, from the harbor to the famous landscapes, the city is always filled with amazing Christmas displays and carols will be heard all over the city.
Last 2018, TST was our last destination, so we were not able to visit other landmarks with Christmas displays. But Abby and I visited a giant kaleidoscope and paid for its HK$50 entrance fee to experience the 30 minutes stay inside the kaleidoscope.
But aside from the giant kaleidoscope, there were also beautiful displays at Victoria Harbour, Peninsula, and 1881 Heritage.
1881 Heritage is popular for its colonial-style architecture, even newlyweds love to take photos here.
A 15-meter tall Christmas lantern with other Christmas trees illuminated the place.
And I was grateful to take a perfect shot under this amazing Christmas tree. This year, I roamed around HK alone because my friends were not available that day. But since there were Filipinas everywhere, I had my photographer, lol.
Giant Polar bears and a Christmas tree was seen at this place last year. Due to pandemic restrictions, the displays and excitements of the visitors weren't that cheerful as before.
The mall was transformed into Santa's study place and a one-stop-shop for all Christmas displays.
Giant Christmas trees and Santa's elves were everywhere to give you a Christmas present. Kids and families have also sneaked a peek into Santa's private study room and took photos with him, with an entrance fee of course.
Pokemon invaded the whole place and built different booths that sheltered different pokemon.
I love most especially the booth of my favorite pokemon - Pikachu.
If you want to visit Hong Kong, the best time to do it is during the Christmas holidays to experience a one-of-a-kind festive experience and witness spectacular Christmas displays while roaming around the city.
I hope you have enjoyed my virtual tour 😁.
Thanks for your time.
So even personal blogs should be checked. Lol. This is hilarious.
Thanks Jane, I like to see your photos! You are pretty also! I like your white "tuque". I tipped just a small amount because you already got a lot - But great article, thanks for sharing. I hope to see more from HK in the future from you.
gaganda ng mga Christmas Displays nila jan. Kalalaki ang sarap pagmasdan kahit sa litrato lang. ramdam you young Christmas spirit lalo pa pag may music na nakaplay yung kanta ni Jose Mari Chan. hehe
So lovely!! Most photos look like winter wonderland! In sm.cebu, they also have a mini display of winter wonderland... its mini though unlike in hk but still, they look truly amazing
In my country people don't do this type of arrangements , I think our country is Muslim that's why but Hong Kong made such a beautiful arrangements
All the picture are captivating but the most beautiful is when you are with pokemon.
They are really beautiful all those Christmas arrangements. That's where the Christmas arrangements for Christmas in my country came from. Now people are self-builders of their own Christmas arrangements.
No, my friend, here there is only snow in the Andes mountain range.
But my country used to buy a lot of Christmas decorations from Chinese merchants. It didn't matter if they were allusive to snow. They would put up trees full of snow, with balls full of snow spray. With Santas and reindeer in the snow. Our Christmas decorations were beautiful and the Asian stores were always full of customers. But today's declining economy has caused people to recycle materials and make their own Christmas ornaments.
Hello lady in red☺ The displays are beautiful and so are you. I once flew in via HK one Christmas season and seen how they made the place mesmerizing. Even the airport had grand decors❣

It would be wrong if I don't appreciate your beauty before going forward with my comment, permit me to say that you look very beautiful.
Christmas is a beautiful season and we see a lot of things that's been put in by individuals, groups of people, and even organizations to make everywhere look awesome.
You have shared beautiful and amazing places that anyone who loves beautiful things would want to visit.
