Since its grand opening in 2019, K11 Musea at Hong Kong’s Victoria Dockside has been known for its contemporary art exhibits, as well as the numerous flagship stores and award-winning restaurants housed at its harbourfront location.

Christmas sees every bricks-and-mortar in town bust out the tinsel and trinkets like there’s no tomorrow and K11 is no exception. But for a place that treated us to a giant pool shaped like Van Gogh’s ear for its first-year anniversary, expect the cultural-retail destination to celebrate Santa Claus in singular style.

This season, K11 Musea launches a variety of happenings sure to appeal to the art lover, shopaholic and everyone in-between, combining traditional European festive touches with surreal decorative elements. A festive and decorative Christmas pop-up is the centrepiece, along with an immersive light show and a range of exclusive gift sets for some extra special Christmas shopping.

Sweet festive treats from Royal Truck – rose and raspberry and sea salt caramel cup cakes.

The sixth floor of the K11 Art & Cultural Centre will offer indoor and outdoor Christmas experiences with a twist, picking up on the cross-cultural festive feel. Journey through this winterscape twinkling with fairy lights to discover numerous talented, Hong Kong-based artisans offering gourmet and handcrafted delights: notably, artisanal cheeses from Victor & Hugo Gourmet, jam and wine from Maison Argaud and the finest spirits from The Whisky Library. Other festive pop-ups are presented by Rosewood Hong Kong and the MoMA Design Store, and there’s an exclusive gourmet festive menu on offer from Royal Truck.

Ideal for an Instagram moment, the Christmas pop-up also features surreal seasonal elements like an oversized nutcracker, a huge clock tower and giant Christmas ornaments.
