Dubai is doing it again—turning December into a full-on festive moment. Winter City is back at Expo City, and Al Wasl Plaza is officially in holiday mode with a massive Christmas tree, glowing lights and enough festive energy to make you forget it’s 28°C outside.
What to Expect This Year
Winter City basically transforms Expo City into a Christmas playground. Think lights, decorations, family activities and nonstop festive vibes. Whether you’re into markets, live shows or just pretending you’re in Europe, it’s all here.
Festive Shows and Nightly Tree Lighting
The highlight? The story of the Candy Cane Comet takes over the dome with music, lights and plenty of kid-friendly magic. And every night, one lucky visitor gets picked to switch on the giant Christmas tree. If you want that “just lit the tree” photo, now’s your chance.
Your ticket also gets you into the Christmas market, daily live performances and hands-on workshops for all ages.
Yes, It Actually Snows
Once the sun goes down, the whole dome lights up like a scene from a holiday movie. But the real surprise happens every Saturday—snow begins to fall inside the dome. Real snowfall in Dubai? Only here.
