Studio One Hotel

Studio One will be hosting a Christmas market this year, transforming its courtyard into ‘Studioville’, in homage to one of our favourite festive movies, The Grinch. On December 12, you’ll be able to explore more than 30 stalls packed with last minute gifts, and festive treats. There will also be free pizza ateliers for kids and fun festive workshops for the little ones, plus food on display and plenty of Christmas tunes.

Madinat Jumeirah Festive Market         
Madinat Jumeirah’s popular festive market is back for another year, and needless to say, we’re excited. The market will run from Friday December 13 until Saturday December 28 – that’s 16 jam-packed days of festive fun. There’s going to be a live band, daily visits form Santa between 5pm and 7pm, gingerbread house decorating, abra tours with the big man himself, cookie decorating sessions and plenty of festive food and drinks. Bring on the mulled grape.

Ripe Christmas Market
One of our favourite markets is getting a festive overhaul in December. Ripe Market, at Dubai Police Academy Park in Umm Suqeim is throwing itself into the spirit of the holidays with heaps of activities for all the family to enjoy. Little ones can meet Santa in his grotto and jump aboard the Polar Express train that winds around the park. They can also get stuck into some gingerbread house making, or sit down to focus on a spot of festive-themed sewing. There’s plenty on offer for parents too – dads, you might want to head to the gift wrapping workshop, just saying.

Meet Santa
At home (courtesy of Address Marina)
As well as his scheduled visit to your house on December 24, you can also get an appointment in his diary for him to come and meet your excited little people ahead of the big day. All you have to do is speak to the kind folk at Address Marina who will facilitate – PA Style – for Father Christmas to rock up on your doorstep, accompanied by some merry tuneful carollers, and hand-deliver a great gift for every one of your brood. Get the video cameras rolling mums and dads, you’ll want to capture the sheer excitement and amazement on your kids’ faces.

The Irish Village
The Irish Village will be throwing its annual tree lighting bash on Wednesday December 11, and we suggest you mark it in your diary now. The popular pub in Garhoud will be hosting a special party, with carol singing from both the St Mary’s Church Choir and Dubai Duty Free choir, mince pies, mulled grape and the big switch on. It all kicks off at 7pm, so be there sharp for a glass of mulled grape (mums and dads) and free mince pies (kids).
