This sounds cahutttteeeee!

If you love the holidays, and if you love nothing more than going over the top with festive fun and holiday decorations, then you need to visit Elf Mountain at WAFI.

Famous for a HUGE Christmas tree, the festivities kick off on December 5 with the tree lighting and carol singing and runs all the way through until December 24, with Santa’s grotto, arts and crafts, Christmas movies, and even a ski simulator! (We kid you not!)

WAFI is answering every Christmas wishlist in the book – don’t miss it!

The Christmas tree lighting and carol singing will be magical

Dubai British School Jumeirah Park are gearing up to belt out your favourite Christmas carols for an event that will feature a tree lighting ceremony with the big man himself… SANTA!

When? Visitors welcome from 5pm, Thursday, December 5

Chrismas celebrations at WAFI are always magical

Running until December 24, prepare to be blown away. This will be a festive display like no other featuring elves hard at work in an actual Elf Village, which surrounds the stunning tree!

The grotto visits are like no other, including a visit to Santa, a soft toy, a framed photo with Santa, a run on the ski simulator (funnn!) AND a free hot chocolate and mince pie at Biella. DE-LISH. How much? AED70

Carrefour will also host a Christmas market! How FAB??

And you can even hit the slopes!

A ski simulator on Elf Mountain is open to kids 10 years and above. Who needs the Alps when you’ve got a ski simulator, this will be a Christmas experience the kids (and adults) will just LOVE.

If you’ve already paid for Santa’s grotto, this is free! Or just AED20 as a standalone ticket.

Arts and crafts, Christmas movies and Santa wishlists

Satisfy allllll your holiday needs at WAFI, there are fun arts and crafts areas for kids, Christmas movies will be playing, loads of the stores at WAFI will have their own festive stalls so get ready to stock up on goodies and treats for the holidays, and, most importantly, you can even post your Santa letters in the dedicated post box.
