Buckle up your snow boots and grab your mittens, because Abu Dhabi’s Yas Winter Fest is back and bigger than ever! From December 13 to 22, Yas Gateway Park North will transform into a frosty fantasyland that’ll make you forget you’re in a sun-soaked paradise. After last year’s successful debut, this year, they’ve cranked up the winter magic to a whole new level. Prepare for a ten-day extravaganza that promises to tickle your festive fancy with all the seasonal trimmings you could dream of.
‘Snow’ Much Fun At Yas Winter Fest Abu Dhabi
If you thought snow was exclusive to chilly climes, think again. The festival’s artificial snow zone is ready to make your winter dreams come true without freezing your toes off. Embrace the snowy fun with a mega tubing slide that’ll have you speeding through a flurry of faux snow. Little elves can visit Santa Land, where they’ll:
- Write letters to jolly old St. Nick
- Decorate gingerbread
- Craft festive ornaments
Meanwhile, the Carnival Zone is bursting with thrills:
- Classic rides
- Skill games
- Winter-themed bouncy castles
Whether you’re spinning in teacups or zooming down inflatable slides, there’s a chilly thrill for everyone.
Savour The Festive Spirit
For those whose idea of fun involves festive feasts, you’re in for a treat. The Festive Cook School is offering free holiday cooking workshops where you can:
- Master classic recipes under the guidance of professional chefs
- Enjoy your delicious creations afterwards
If you’d rather leave the cooking to someone else, a host of food vendors will be on hand, serving up:
- Hearty holiday dishes
- Family-style meals
Add to this the daily performances on the Festive Stage: from carol sing-alongs to magical shows and you’ve got a recipe for festive joy.
