A festive atmosphere fills the entire country as Taipei Hankyu Mitsukoshi Dream Mall and Kaohsiung Dream Mall hosted the “Love 'Sharing” Christmas series in 2015, themed around love and sharing, in their respective northern and southern locations, including themed interactive light zones and the purple Christmas tree “Purple Wish” light show every night from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, combining music and animated lighting. These celebrations attracted many visitors to experience the romantic Christmas vibe. Notably, the Afternoon Tea Hankyu Kaohsiung branch enjoys an excellent location, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the Christmas installations at night.

In response to Taiwan’s changing demographics, with more small families and single-person households, the “Christmas Colorful Couple Set,” launched on the 19th, has been well-received by customers for its rich flavors and diverse options. Afternoon Tea’s home lifestyle goods have also introduced seasonal and festive items, suitable not only for personal use but also as gifts. To create a dazzling Christmas atmosphere in the forest, materials such as wood and warm felt are widely used in home decor. There are also LED light ornaments combining glass jars and candles, while Christmas gift ideas feature exclusive collaborations with renowned crystal brand Swarovski, significantly boosting their appeal.

This time, in response to the purple Christmas tree “Purple Wish,” a creative “Hankyu Limited Purple Sweet Potato Christmas Tree Cake” has been designed. Sweet chestnuts and diced sweet potatoes are rolled with whipped cream in a chocolate sponge cake, topped with purple sweet potato cream made from mashed purple sweet potato and specially prepared butter. It’s decorated with crispy walnuts and other nuts, resembling a miniature purple Christmas tree. A cute Santa Claus made of fresh strawberries stands beside it, and the words “Merry Christmas” are sprinkled with cocoa powder. Through the “Hankyu Limited Purple Sweet Potato Christmas Tree Cake,” Afternoon Tea hopes to celebrate Christmas’s arrival with consumers, spreading happiness and joy to everyone.
