The images of the event show the crowded mall of children accompanied by parents and family, all in expectation of seeing the most traditional character of Christmas. The movement marked the beginning of the Christmas celebrations in the enterprise and turned Saturday afternoon into a special moment for the public.

Christmas decoration has 10-meter tree and vanilla aroma
In addition to the arrival of Santa Claus, another highlight is the 2026 decoração natalina. The mall bet on a setting inspired by the Candy Stick universe, with references to traditional Christmas candy sticks.
In the Main Event Square, a 10-metre-high illuminated tree draws the attention of visitors. The space also brings together giant sweets, smaller trees, characters and decorative elements that refer to the universe of children’s stories.
One of the novelties this year is the sensory experience provided by a large decorative teapot, responsible for spreading vanilla aroma to the environment.
The proposal is to involve visitors not only with the lights and colors of Christmas, but also with elements that refer to the emotional memories of this time of year.
