Christmas 2021: These 10 Malls In KL Are Looking Dreamy And Picturesque This Festive Season!

With December and the year-end fast approaching, malls across Klang Valley are getting into the festive spirits despite what a turbulent year it has been. While a white Christmas remains a dream for most of us this year, it's still possible to feel warm and merry with the dazzling festive decor set up across town. Pssst, if you're planning to head to the malls, be sure to adhere to the SOP while you're out and about. Stay safe and Merry Christmas in advance guys!

We've always been a fan of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur's extravagant Christmas decor, from their magical Christmas tree featuring 1,000 Mickey figurines back in 2018 to their unique Star Wars-themed decoration two years back (featuring a massive 30 feet Millennium Falcon Replica!).

This year, Coach has set up a bespoke holiday installation at the mall's iconic outdoor fountain area - spot dreamy holiday creatures such as penguins, deer, owls, and foxes, all dressed for a snowy winter in ski gear, googles, and beanies! We recommend popping by at night if you'd like to see the space lit up by twinkling lights and a magical golden hue.

Other installations not to be missed include the enchanting 40-foot tall Christmas tree at the main entrance, the majestic Dior Christmas star that looks straight out of a fairytale book, and the centre court setup.

Indulge in the festive spirit by snapping a picture with Suria KLCC's iconic giant Christmas tree overlooking the lake of KLCC Park! We were really heartbroken when it wasn't put up last year, but we're so happy to see it back again for Christmas 2021. If you come over at night, you'll also get to catch the musical fountains in action!

Besides the giant tree by the lake, the centre court of Suria KLCC is also decked out for the festive season with plenty of photo spots - check out the dreamy Suria KLCC Express train and Santa's cottage while you do your year-end shopping.

Make way for the new kid! In case you didn't know yet, a brand-new mall is coming to Klang Valley. Poised to be the largest lifestyle mall in town, Pavilion Bukit Jalil has finally opened its doors this month. Spanning five floors and housing stores selling anything you can imagine, we can't wait to check it out once we can! The mall is welcoming its first batch of visitors with a Christmas Wonderland showcasing exciting festive decorations including a Snow Tunnel, Yuletide Carousel, as well as festive events like Christmas caroling and Santa appearances.

The Christmas spirit has also descended in The Gardens Mall! The mall has been posting sneak peeks of their festive decor being put up overnight and it has since been beautifully dressed in festive greens, jolly reds, pretty wreaths, glistening baubles, and sparkling fairy lights. Pssst, keep an eye out for adorable forest animals hidden amongst the Christmas trees while you're there! Besides gentle deer, rabbits, parrots, and horses, you might also spot some cuddly teddies.

After snapping pictures at The Gardens Mall, cross the street and head to MidValley Megamall next! This year, MidValley's Christmas fiesta at the centre court features a lovely gingerbread village, pretty trees, interactive workshops, as well as cookies and balloon giveaways for your little ones. While the mall decor isn't as extravagant as previous years, we still find it super cute and lots of fun to explore.

1 Utama's Christmas Village smells like freshly-baked cookies, chocolates, and bread! The mall's LG Oval & Ground Floor Centre Court has been transformed into a charming village with festive shops housed in rustic cottages - have a stroll and take a selfie with the dazzling 50-ft tall Christmas tree centrepiece decorated with scarlet poinsettia flowers. Besides that, the mall is also hosting an outdoor Christmas Market located under the stars of Estreet from 11 - 22 December. Pop by for some festive delights including roast turkey, freshly baked artisan sourdough bread, and handcrafted gifts!

KL East Mall in Taman Melawati is a fairly new kid in town, having only opened its doors to the public around last Christmas. We especially remember their snow-themed Christmas decor that gave off serious Frozen wonderland vibes last year! This year, KL East Mall's Christmas decoration is themed around a mystical kingdom featuring mischievous Christmas elves. Pop by to greet the Elven King and Queen at their fairytale land surrounded by flowers and delightful creatures.

Get into the Christmas spirit by going on an ice skating date at Sunway Pyramid (ok yes we know that it's very different from the skating rinks at Christmas markets in Europe, but hey, it's the best you can get here!). We haven't seen many pictures of the Christmas decor at Sunway Pyramid yet, but we'll definitely update this piece when we do!

Pssst, with a 'Together for Good' festive theme set in the spirit of Christmas giving, Sunway Pyramid shoppers can donate to charitable causes while they do their year-end shopping, proceeds will go towards helping impoverished families and students across Malaysia.

Take photos with elves hidden all around Sunway Velocity Mall this year-end! Not just that, the mall has put together fun and interactive Augmented Reality (AR) station games where you can collect stamps at stations spread across the mall and redeem a mystery gift when you've completed the challenge.

Klook Tip: can't find what you're looking for at Sunway Velocity? The mall is connected via a link bridge to MyTown Shopping Centre, so you can just walk over to continue your shopping!
