DUBAI, 20 November 2025 – The festive spirit returns to the heart of Expo City Dubai from 6-31 December as Winter City once again transforms Al Wasl Plaza into a world of light, laughter and seasonal magic. Wrapped in red and white, the plaza becomes a living snow globe where families come together to savour the joy of the holidays – with this edition featuring a Disney+ themed area to elevate the festive experience.

Beneath the iconic dome, visitors journey through Sugarplum Land, Reindeer Academy and Nutcracker Land – playful worlds of crafts, games and festive workshops for all ages. Meanwhile at Mrs Claus’s Bakery, families are invited to decorate their own sweet creations, and little dreamers pen heartfelt letters to Santa before meeting him for a keepsake holiday photo.

High above, the Candy Cane Comet blazes across the sky, its trail leading visitors into a realm of creativity and wonder. The children – the Candy Cane Watchers of this story – have an important role to play when the comet’s journey ‘peaks’ during the much-loved Carols by Candlelight from 20-24 December: the Candy Cane Comet falters, but the children’s belief and imagination rekindles its glow, lighting up the sky once more.
