The elves at Sanctuary Cove have been busy decking the halls with twinkling Christmas trees and organising a sleigh-load of live entertainment for shoppers from Thursday December 8 until Sunday December 11. From 10:00 am until 1:00 pm daily, you can enjoy mesmerising Christmas decorations, roaming carollers gracing visitors with fan favourites, special gifts, giveaways and daily prizes.

Little ones can post their wish list to Santa via the North Pole Mailbox or visit him in person for a picture at the North Pole Igloo. The Santa photo booth will be open on December 8 and 9 from 11:00 am-3:00 pm, and December 10 and 11 from 10:00 am-3:00 pm. If your furry friends have been good girls and boys, they are also welcome to meet Santa for a picture on December 11.

Finally, as a reward for braving the Christmas crowds, Sanctuary Cove will give away $12,000 worth of prizes. The waterfront retail district homes more than 20 retailers offering an array of bespoke, locally made homewares, clothing and gifts. With every purchase of $50, visitors will receive a ‘Scratch & Win’ card for a chance to win one of 300 prizes, including an overnight getaway at InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort*.
