22 December 2017 - Most of you would need no introduction to a Hong Kong Christmas: ingenious and elaborate mall displays, infrastructure draped in dazzling lights—and praying that the mercury drops enough for that Christmassy sweater you haven’t worn in years. While Hong Kong will never see a white Christmas, property developers and management companies have gotten pretty good at making the festive season one of the most popular among Hong Kong holidays. And it’s easy to see why: read on for a roundup of the best Christmas 2017 displays across Hong Kong.

Be whisked away to the 12,000-foot “The White Planet” on the D2 Place rooftop in Lai Chi Kok. Man-made snow falls during specific time intervals on Saturdays and Sundays from 22 December to 1 January, so if you don’t want to go home without an Instagrammable photo, do take note. Details are available here, but only in Chinese. 15 Cheung Shun St., Lai Chi Kok.
