About the Christmas Market

We’ve always dreamt of showing Sri Lankans something completely new — a Christmas celebration inspired by Europe’s centuries-old markets. For decades, “Christmas events” in Sri Lanka have meant music shows, carols, food and drinks. We’re going beyond that.

What’s Waiting for You at
Waikin Europe Christmas Market

This is more than an event — it’s an experience. It’s for everyone, regardless of religion or background, to come together and celebrate.

🎅 Santa Claus Village

Step into a magical world inspired by the famous Santa Claus Village of Finland! Visitors to our Christmas Market will discover a charming village where children and adults alike can meet Santa, hop onto his sleigh for memorable photos, and enjoy a variety of festive activities with the man himself.

🛡 Viking Cabin

Travel back in time to the traditions of the far North. In our Viking Cabin, you’ll explore how the ancient Norse celebrated Yule — the winter festival that helped shape many of today’s Christmas customs. Learn stories of the Vikings, experience their festive spirit, and see how history meets modern Christmas cheer.

🎶 Live Music & Carols

Let the sound of Christmas fill the air! Our stage will host live performances throughout the day, featuring traditional carols, festive classics, and vibrant local music. Sing along, discover new melodies, and feel the joyful energy of the season brought to life by talented musicians and choirs.

🪵 Wooden Stalls

Wander through rows of charming wooden stalls, just like in the great European Christmas markets. Each stall is beautifully decorated and brimming with handcrafted gifts, festive décor, and unique finds from local and international artisans — perfect for your holiday shopping.

🍽 Food Stalls

Follow the delicious aromas to our bustling food area, where you can savour traditional European Christmas treats alongside Sri Lankan favourites. From warm drinks and sweet pastries to hearty festive dishes, there’s something to delight every palate.

🎯 Games

Bring the whole family to enjoy classic fair-style games and festive activities for all ages. Win small prizes, challenge your friends, and soak up the cheerful atmosphere that makes Christmas markets such fun.

💃 Stage & Traditional Dances

Our main stage will come alive with music, dance, and performance. Enjoy traditional Sri Lankan and European dances, live carols, and special cultural shows that celebrate the season in a blend of East and West.

📖 Europe & Christmas Storytelling

Take a seat and be transported across time and continents. Our storytellers will share enchanting tales of Christmas traditions from around Europe — legends, customs, and heartwarming stories for children and adults alike.
