Best Christmas Markets in Hong Kong With Christmas fast approaching, Hong Kong is ramping up the festivities and there’s nothing like a Christmas market to kick off the holiday season. Although Chinese New Year is the more significant celebration, Christmas is warmly embraced across Hong Kong with dazzling illuminations, elaborate decorations and festive cheer by the Santa sack-load. By mid- November, a slew of seasonal markets selling artisanal gifts, gourmet treats and myriad stocking fillers also crop up throughout the city. In case you’re passing through Hong Kong at the end of the year, here’s a round- up of the city’s Winter and Christmas Markets. List of Best Christmas Market in Hong Kong: 1. AWA Charity Bazaar The American Women’s Association (AWA) will host its 32nd Annual Charity Bazaar with more than 80 vendors selling a range of items from jewellery to Christmas decor. Don’t forget the silent auction and lucky draw.
2. Stanley Plaza Finnish Christmas Wonders Shop for stocking thrillers and colourful decorations from 100+ stalls selling gifts, crafts, food and drinks, while kids are kept distracted by light shows, traditional Finnish music and dance performances, and, a chance to meet the real Santa Claus, natch. 3. Discovery Bay Sunday Market Hop on a ferry and head to the Discovery Bay Sunday Market. Well known for its arts and crafts stalls, you’re sure to find something for yourself and whoever you’re gifting this year. When the post- shopping hunger hits, enjoy dinner at one of the designated restos at the D’Deck and you’ll be treated to a free ferry ride back to the island.
