A world of wonder at Global Village while year on peak

• Global Village celebrates the festive season with an invasion of mischievous elves, toy soldiers, gingerbread men, and visits from Santa himself.

• The venue will host a Bauble market for festive gift shopping, numerous picture spots and seasonal performances, alongside a 21-metre-high festive tree

Dubai: Santa’s mischievous elves will be dancing their way around Global Village, making the region’s leading destination for multicultural entertainment, dining, shopping and attractions a more wonderful world during the most wonderful time of the year, from now until January 8. 

Guests will need to keep a look out for the cheeky elves as they pop up across the park in the most unexpected places, spreading festive laughter, cheer and a little bit of chaos, doing their best to help Santa during his meet and greets with children, big and small.

Don’t worry about the elves getting out of control though as Global Village will be bringing a special battalion of highly trained toy soldiers to maintain order and make sure the elves and the Global Village gingerbread men are not causing too much trouble.

Global Village’s famous 21-metre-high festive tree has been adorned with glistening lights and the elves have lend a hand to make the tree extra special. Adding to the festive feeling, Celebration Walk has been given a makeover for that special family snapshot or better yet, grab a picture-perfect moment under the snow at the Snowfest ice rink.

For those important stocking fillers or presents for someone extra special, Global Village has got you covered. The pop-up festive Bauble market will add to the 3,500 shopping outlets across the destination making finding the perfect gift, that you won’t find anywhere else in Dubai, as easy as saying ho ho ho!

Jaki Ellenby, Executive Marketing Director at Global Village, said: “Preparations were going well with everyone giving a hand to dress Global Village in its party best for the holidays, until Santa’s little helpers made their appearance… Fortunately Santa arrived just in time to get the naughty elves under control and to light the tree for our delighted guests. The 1000+ elves are now exploring the park and will definitely be adding loads of festive spirit to Global Village this Season.”

All this plus over 250 restaurants, cafes and street food options to choose from, for a festive refuel. This holiday season at Global Village guests will enjoy the most wonderful time of the year in a more wonderful world!
