Christmas Express and Decoration Workshop in the Allee

The goal of the shopping center’s festive initiative is to make the Christmas season an intimate, loving, and supportive experience. In the atrium, the Christmas Express transports children every day, and in the Allee Ornament Workshop, visitors can have a personalized, completely unique Christmas tree ornament made, with the inscriptions handwritten by a calligrapher. The proceeds will be used entirely to organize an experience day for children living in the orphanage, made possible by the Kuckó Voluntary Program Foundation. The goal of the volunteer-based organization, which has been around for more than a decade and a half, is to improve the lives of the children’s home residents through experiences.

Every day of the Advent period, visitors can take and print holiday photos at the photo booth at the foot of the giant Christmas tree using a vending machine, but anyone can also sit and take photos in Santa’s giant armchair – surrounded by decorations. From December 5, the youngest guests will also be able to enjoy an interactive field table, which can come to life with the push of a button: lights come on and holiday music plays. On weekends, music and storytelling programs enhance the festive atmosphere. On November 29, Piadanza’s monumental, 7.5-meter-long six-octave grand piano will fill the atrium with Christmas melodies. During the break between productions, visitors can also try out this unusual instrument. On December 6, Santa Claus awaits the children with a surprise, and in the evening, a special bell concert by the Szironta ensemble will make the day memorable. On December 12, talented children’s choirs from local schools will bring the most beautiful holiday melodies, and the day will be completed with a festive concert by the Emergency Police Orchestra. On December 20, Juli Jakab will be performing Christmas stories for both young and old, and acoustic Advent concerts will close the program.
