Where To Meet Santa In Hong Kong 2023

It’s the question all families are asking right now — “Where can you meet Santa in Hong Kong?”

Have your children made their Christmas wishlists and sent them to the big man in red (be sure to download your Sassy Mama letter template!)? Well, then it’s time to take them to meet Santa in person. If you missed out on booking your spot at Pacific Place or malls like ifc (weren’t those snapped up in record time?!), rest assured, there are still places for your kids to meet Santa but you will need to be a little organised.

Editor’s Note: Know a place where kids can meet Santa? Let us know at editorial@sassymamahk.com.
