The most magical time of the year has arrived at Mall of the Emirates, which is rolling out a full, vibrant calendar of festive experiences designed to delight families and tourists. This year, the mall has positioned itself as the ultimate one-stop destination for every holiday need, blending immersive entertainment, heartwarming traditions, charitable giving, and convenient shopping services all under one roof. The lineup is designed to make holiday preparations easier, allowing guests to focus on celebrating and creating lasting memories.
The festive calendar ensures that cherished holiday traditions are not only fun but also inclusive.
Ski Dubai’s Winter Wonderland (December 1 – 25) returns with the essential tradition of meeting Santa and his elves in a snowy environment. This year, Ski Dubai has introduced Sensory-Friendly Sessions as part of Majid Al Futtaim’s sustainability strategy. These sessions feature softer sounds and trained staff, creating an inclusive experience for children with Special Educational Needs and those on the autistic spectrum.
- Meet Santa Packages: Options range from the standard White Christmas fairytale meet-and-greet to Breakfast with Santa (starting AED 160 for ages 2+), and combos that include unlimited snow park rides. Early birds save 20% if they book by November 30th for early December visits.
- The Grotto Experience (December 6 – 25) invites families on a magical journey with letter-writing stations, the Merry Mailroom, and a cozy cabin to meet Santa and receive a special Christmas gift. This experience also offers Whispering Winter Sessions with limited capacity for a calmer, soothing environment.
The festive program is rich with entertainment and community spirit. The brand-new New Covent Garden Theatre at the mall is debuting the hit musical pantomime, Rapunzel and Her Holiday Wish (December 5 – 24). This feel-good family show, which includes pop hits from Taylor Swift and Stevie Wonder, promises laughter, love, and a sprinkle of snow, adding a touch of high-quality theatre to the holiday season.
The tradition of charitable giving returns with the beloved Annual Stollen Charity Cake Sale on November 23rd under the Fashion Dome. A beautifully baked, massive festive Stollen will be sold in portions from 10 AM, with proceeds going directly to charity. It’s a simple, heartwarming way for the community to start the season on a generous note.
Finally, for the busy shopper, a dedicated Festive Wrapping Station at THAT Concept Store provides a chic, seasonal finish for gifts bought anywhere in the mall, ensuring effortless presentation for last-minute shoppers.
Mall of the Emirates delivers a full, aspirational festive experience, ensuring you can celebrate, shop, give back, and make memories all under one roof. Step in this winter to enjoy the magic.
