Winter Shopping Festival and New Year 2025 countdown

A December season built around a 17-metre Christmas tree, Santa gift-giving and a kids' arts and crafts workshop, closing with a Festive Parade and a New Year's Eve countdown night. Running alongside it was a Winter Shopping Festival that turned a Dh200 spend into scratch-and-win entries for a Dh1 million cash prize and five cars.
