This festive season, Cresta Shopping Centre is transforming into a storybook wonderland, and invites you to step into a world of magic, wonder, and seasonal cheer.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With a line-up of enchanting activities and heartfelt initiatives, the stage is set for families and friends to create their own festive fairytale – and live their \u201chappily ever after\u201d at Cresta Town this December.<\/p>\n

The festivities begin with the Cresta Night Market on Friday, December 6 from 4pm<\/strong>, where vibrant stalls and a sparkling atmosphere set the tone for a season of wonder. The magic continues with dazzling Cirk Character Performances<\/strong> from December 14 to 16 and December 21 to 24, while you can enjoy the magic of Mesmerising Mermaid Dives<\/strong> on December 14, 16, and 21. Children will have the chance to meet the star of the season – Santa Claus<\/strong> himself – from December 19 to 24, while budding artists can join free arts and crafts activities<\/strong> at CrestaTown and CrestAquarium from December 11 to 24 (first-come, first-served). Families can capture their own storybook moment with themed photo opportunities<\/strong> or let imaginations soar with face painting by SOMA Makeup Artistry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As part of its commitment to spreading joy, Cresta is embracing the spirit of giving with meaningful initiatives:<\/p>\n

CSI Gift Wrapping Stations<\/strong> to \u201cwrap with purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SAFRIPOL Toy Donation Campaign<\/strong> to collect pre-loved toys for children in need, ensuring everyone\u2019s holiday story ends with a smile.<\/p>\n

To add a little extra sparkle, shoppers are encouraged to dress as their favourite storybook characters, with spot rewards – like candy canes, tenant vouchers, and shopper bags – awaiting those who step into the magic.<\/p>\n

The story doesn\u2019t end there. Cresta is also welcoming new chapters with Newscafe<\/strong> and Huawei<\/strong>, opening soon to enhance the shopping experience and write the next page of Cresta\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

This festive season, Cresta Shopping Centre invites you to make magical memories, celebrate the season, and discover your own happily ever after.<\/p>\n
