The long Christmas weekend is finally here and the festive vibes are in full swing. We have got all festive food and wine stocked up for our party, and gifts are ready for family and friends. The only thing left to decide is to where to go for the evening. Here are some of the options you can choose from:

Visit Santa at his workshop, skate under the stars at the outdoor skating rink and sample wine and food whipped up by gourmet chefs from Monti, Shoukouwa and Saint Pierre. Expect ‘snowfall’ too.
