By MOOK Scenic Spots Family, compiled and reported

Since 2002, Harbour City has been organizing Christmas fundraising events in collaboration with the Hong Kong Leukaemia & Lymphoma Society for 17 consecutive years. Each year, the events feature creative themes. This Christmas, Harbour City takes everyone back to a Christmas Eve a century ago and invites the renowned British block toy design duo Miller Goodman, known for their vibrant and playful style, to reinterpret the classic tale of The Nutcracker.

Miller Goodman is a well-known British block toy design duo, whose creations are beloved by users worldwide. Zoe Miller, a book designer at the Tate Gallery in the UK, and David Goodman co-founded the block brand Miller Goodman in 2008. Their shared childhood memories revolve around these colorful blocks, which they believe are cherished by many.

Through a palette of bright colors and diverse shapes, Miller Goodman encourages everyone to unleash their imagination and enjoy the fun that blocks bring. This year, Harbour City has specially invited Miller Goodman to hold their first large-scale exhibition, creating vibrant and whimsical displays inspired by The Nutcracker story, immersing visitors in an artistically imaginative Christmas.

In addition to the Nutcracker block wonderland, Harbour City has also, for the first time ever, built a Christmas bridge over 40 meters long and a 60-ton outdoor Christmas tree in the Ocean Terminal Open Plaza. The Christmas bridge has been transformed into Hong Kong's first "love lock bridge," where visitors can write wishes and sweet nothings for their loved ones on heart-shaped locks and attach them to the bridge. Different colored heart locks represent different blessings, adding a splash of color to the structure.
