The Ideal Christmas Show

For many, Christmas begins with a magical day out that brings

the festive season to life. Returning to Olympia London

from 26–29 November, The Ideal Christmas Show is bigger, brighter

and more magical than ever.

At its heart is the ultimate Christmas shopping experience, with

more than 300 brands offering thoughtful gifts, decorations, home

inspiration, artisan food and seasonal treats. Explore the

Entertainment Hub, Merry Little Gift

Village and Personalisation Pavilion,

packed with unique finds, bespoke presents and plenty of festive

inspiration.

There’s much more to enjoy beyond the shopping. For an

additional cost, get hands-on with wreath making and

festive cocktail-making workshops, or join Oli The Choc’s

Choc ’N’ Roll Experience for chocolate

truffle-making workshops and lollipop-making

drop-in sessions. Families can also make magical memories

with the Family Magic Pass, including a visit to

Santa’s Grotto, a chocolate lollipop-making

session and a family photograph.

For even more seasonal inspiration, head to The

Christmas Corner, hosted by Sara Ward from Hen Corner and

chef Andrew Dickens. From festive food, Christmas taste tests and

clever leftover ideas to wreath making, gift wrapping, tablescaping

and sustainable crafts, there’s something to spark a little

Christmas magic throughout the day. Join Sara, Andrew and a merry

line-up of chefs, makers and festive experts for live

demonstrations, delicious ideas and creative inspiration to help

you eat, make, style and celebrate your way to Christmas.

When it’s time to unwind, Santa’s Speakeasy

brings together festive cocktails, live music and seasonal treats

in cosy surroundings.

For an extra-special day, upgrade to VIP for

exclusive lounge access, complimentary refreshments, a luxury goody

bag and festive touches throughout your visit.

Whether you’re returning to a favourite tradition or starting a

new one, gather family and friends and make memories together.

Because The Ideal Christmas Show isn’t simply a festive day out,

it’s where Christmas begins.
