CELEBRATING CULTURAL MAGIC

The magic of the holiday season returns to Rome with Christmas World – A Christmas to Live, the largest Christmas Village in Europe. From November 29 to January 11, 2026, the Galoppatoio of Villa Borghese will once again be transformed into an enchanting winter wonderland, welcoming visitors of all ages to a festive celebration like no other. This year’s edition takes guests on an extraordinary journey through the Christmas traditions of the world. Each corner of the village reveals a different city or culture, brought to life through artistic installations, authentic food and crafts, and cultural performances staged in their original languages. The immersive experience highlights the unique customs that make each community special, at the same time uniting them under the universal spirit of the holidays. Families can enjoy the thrill of skating on a glittering ice rink, racing down icy slides, or bumping into one another in frosty bumper cars. A snow village recreates the charm of northern landscapes, while Santa’s sleigh ride and a Grand Christmas Carousel provide moments of wonder and delight. To further enhance the festive spirit, original musicals created especially for Christmas World blend music, dance, and storytelling, bringing to life unforgettable performances that move between tradition and imagination.

Beyond its spectacular shows, the event is also a feast for the senses. The international holiday market offers visitors a chance to taste seasonal delicacies and discover handcrafted treasures from across the globe. Choirs and live performances fill the air with music, while breathtaking light installations and interactive displays turn every step into a picture-perfect memory.
