Dubai, get ready to add some sparkle to your holiday season — Winter District is back for Season 3! From December 13 to 28, 2025, Emirates Towers will be transformed into a festive wonderland that’s set to delight. Visitors can wander through a charming marketplace filled with locally crafted gifts, from handmade ornaments to unique trinkets.
After successful editions at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre, the third Winter District promises to be even bigger and more magical. Whether you’re hunting for special presents or simply soaking in the holiday vibes, there’s plenty to explore. Expect twinkling lights, festive decorations, and a cheerful atmosphere perfect for getting into the holiday spirit.
No winter wonderland would be complete without festive food and drinks. Winter District offers a variety of seasonal treats, sweet delights, and warming beverages. While vendors are still being finalised, last year’s event featured favourites like Joe & The Juice serving bites from its Rolling Joe truck.
The fun goes beyond shopping and dining. Families can visit Santa’s Grotto for memorable photos, listen to carolers filling the air with festive songs, or enjoy face painting, arts and crafts, and carnival-style games.
Kids can play in the snow-themed area, take part in workshops, and join activities designed to keep them entertained while parents explore the beautifully decorated spaces, including the central Christmas tree that’s perfect for photos.
Mark your calendars from December 13 to 28, and make sure to experience all the magic Winter District has to offer. And if you’re looking for more festive fun, don’t miss Madinat Jumeirah Christmas Market, another must-visit winter event in Dubai that brings seasonal cheer to the city.
