Stanley Plaza is transforming itself into Hong Kong’s biggest seaside market this Christmas. It’s a jam packed spectacular full of fun festive activities and more than 80 food and gift stalls. The centrepiece of the plaza’s yuletide bazaar is a traditional German Christmas Village. This is no ordinary village either. This is the first time that the German Consulate of Hong Kong and the German Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong, are supporting a German Christmas market in the territory, helping to create a blend of the best of East and West.

Christmas activities The relaxed atmosphere in Stanley makes it an ideal location to do a spot of Christmas shopping. There’s something on offer for everyone! Handmade wooden toys make the perfect stocking fillers for little ones, or if you’re after something for a foodie friend there’re preserved goodies and yummy biscuits! Complete with Santa Claus, Christmas lights and quaint wooden huts, you’re never far from the perfect photo opportunity. Kids can take pictures together with Saint Nick, or the whole clan can huddle together for a family shot with the city’s most stylish Christmas market in the background. Gifts galore There’s loads to buy at the Stanley German Christmas Village! For those on the hunt for something a little different to serve at Christmas parties, get your hands on some of the delicious gooey cheeses, the burgers and sausages made from the finest meats or the delicious relishes. Want some original ornaments no mall will have? The market even has German incense smokers. These fun little characters come in all shapes and sizes and give off a festive scent, so pick your favourite incense and pair it with a character of your choice. There are seasonal decorations too, so add some new ones to your tree this year, or go for an entirely new look. If it’s the tree you’re looking to give a facelift to, then make sure you grab some of the handmade baubles on offer. Crafted from fun festive fabrics, they’ll give your home an authentic German look! Free mulled wine and Christmas mugs! Nothing evokes this time of year more than a steaming mug of mulled wine. And the folks down at Stanley have lots of it! All you have to do to get your dram is snap up some Christmas presents at Stanley Plaza worth $600 or more and head over to the information counter with your receipt. There you’ll collect a limited edition mug and you can get one of the market’s cheerful staff to fill it up! Food, presents and mulled wine – what are you waiting for?
