It’s that time of year when we fill the hall with boughs of holly, and go fa la la la all merry Christmas time long! Few things are quite as good at getting us into the festive spirit as a good Christmas market, complete with eggnog, trinkets to be cherished for years to come, and fun for the entire family. That is why this December 5, the British Embassy and the British business community have prepared a festive Christmas market where you get to enjoy the Christmas period with friends and family.
Complete with a wide selection of food, drinks, souvenirs, and gifts from some of Beijing and Britain’s fave vendors, it will be a day full of fun, only topped by fun Christmas activities, workshops, and performances bound to keep the entire family entertained. There will also be a raffle where you get to try your luck and stand to win fantastic prizes. This event will truly be in the Christmas spirit of giving, as all sales proceeds will go to charity – The Migrant Children’s Foundation – which works with disadvantaged schools in Beijing, providing healthcare and educational opportunities to disadvantaged children. The Christmas market will also be green and sustainable as no single-use plastics will be allowed on-site, so if you do decide to attend, bring along a bag to stow your goodies, and a bottle to enjoy the assortment of drinks available on the day.
Please register with a valid passport/ ID number, and bring your physical photo ID/ passport upon arrival on the day.
If you’ve been singing Christmas carols since before Thanksgiving and want a place to shine, head over to Carols for a Cause next weekend as well! The Beijing Riviera Country Club also joins with Migrant Children’s Club for a fun day of kids’ fun, Christmas shopping (can you ever get enough?), and of course, carols. Entry is free.
