Bellavita Christmas Town: A Taste of Old London

Last year, the luxury department store BELLAVITA transformed into a dreamy Nordic snow kingdom. This Christmas, it’s set to fill up your phone memory again. This year, BELLAVITA presents the theme “Bellavita Christmas Town: A Taste of Old London,” bringing 19th-century London streets into the mall’s central atrium. Hyper-realistic flower and produce shops, classic red telephone booths, and specially custom-made vintage trams make you feel like you’ve stepped through time into the setting of an old-school British film the moment you walk through the department store doors.

Address: No. 28, Songren Rd., Xinyi District, Taipei City

Frozen Carnival

Inspired by Disney’s short film “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure,” the “Disney Frozen Carnival” recreates scenes from the movie. The carnival also features plenty of photo ops, such as a 5-meter-tall Olaf at the entrance, Anna, Elsa, and an ice castle, cute Sven and Olaf with a sleigh, and a 12-meter-tall crystal magic Christmas tree. You can also go ice-skating or join hands-on activities – a fun and festive experience.
