Dubai Winter District is set to return this December with a fresh backdrop and a bigger line-up of seasonal experiences. Known as one of the city’s most loved Christmas markets, the event will move from its previous home at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre to Jumeirah Emirates Towers, right beside the Museum of the Future.
The two-week market will open its doors on Saturday, 13 December 2025, running daily until Sunday, 28 December 2025.
Festive highlights for 2025
The Winter District brings the Christmas spirit to the heart of Dubai with attractions designed for families.
Visitors can look forward to:
- A towering Christmas tree at the centre of the market
- Santa’s grotto with daily meet and greet sessions
- A children’s play area with inflatables, crafts, and fun workshops
- Live entertainment every evening from 4pm onwards
- An escape room for those seeking an interactive challenge
- Gourmet bites and festive drinks curated by local and international vendors
Operating hours will be 2pm to midnight on weekdays and 2pm to 1am on weekends, giving plenty of time for families, friends, and couples to explore.
Luxury brands meet festive charm
More than a seasonal fair, Dubai Winter District 2025 will feature international and luxury retail names. Confirmed brands include L’Occitane, Maybelline, Eucerin, Aldo Shoes, and Kitopi, alongside boutique stalls that will offer gifts, homeware, and artisanal goods.
The event is managed by M2L Concepts, the organisers behind Ramadan District, and is expected to welcome over 30,000 visitors this festive season.
A celebration for the whole family
What makes the Winter District stand out is its mix of entertainment for every age group. While younger visitors enjoy Santa’s grotto and dedicated play zones, adults can browse premium retail stalls or enjoy seasonal menus in a festive atmosphere. The central location at Jumeirah Emirates Towers also means easy access for city residents looking to add some holiday cheer to their calendars.
