Hong Kong is preparing to transform its bustling Central into a magical winter wonderland as the city rolls out a thrilling lineup of seasonal events to reinforce its reputation as Asia’s premier Christmas capital. With convenient direct flights from major Indian cities, the destination invites Indian travellers to experience an unforgettable festive escape just a few hours away from home. The highlight of the celebrations, the annual Hong Kong WinterFest (Nov 14, 2025-Jan 4, 2026), will spread festive cheers across the city, making it the perfect year-end getaway for Indian families, couples, and groups looking to celebrate Christmas and New Year in a vibrant, globally inspired setting.
“Winter Wonderland in Central” will bring the joy of Christmas to Hong Kong with a lineup of events. For the first time, iconic landmarks in Central will be turned into a vast illuminated canvas for an immersive light show, while a 20-metre-high outdoor Christmas tree will tower above a bustling Christmas Town. Nearby, Chater Road will be lit up as Starlight Boulevard to extend the joyful atmosphere, seamlessly connecting with the largest festive installation in Landmark Atrium.
Dr Peter Lam, Chairman, Hong Kong Tourism Board, said, “This year’s Hong Kong WinterFest is being presented in a new format and features the most extensive lineup and richest event elements to date. We aim to create a strong festive atmosphere citywide and reinforce Hong Kong’s position as Asia’s top winter travel destination. This initiative not only enhances the holiday experience for locals and visitors but also stimulates the seasonal economy.”
