The Magic Returns: Winter Wonderland 2025 Is a Festive Spectacle You Can’t Miss
Step Into the Magic: Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Returns for 2025!
London’s most dazzling festive playground is back, and this year, Hyde Park Winter Wonderland 2025 promises to be more magical than ever. From 14 November 2025 to 1 January 2026, the capital’s iconic park transforms into a glittering world of rides, lights, and seasonal delights. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, foodie, or simply in it for the twinkling lights and hot chocolate, there’s something for everyone at the UK’s largest winter event.
Santa Land Gets a Makeover
The beloved Santa Land returns bigger and better, now home to London’s largest free Santa’s Grotto. Little ones can step into a storybook world filled with festive cheer, explore the new Elves Workshop, and even enjoy visits from Mrs Claus herself. And when hunger strikes, head to the Jingle Bell Bistro, the world’s first street food market just for kids, with mini-sized dishes designed for tiny taste buds.
A Dazzling New Arrival: Luminarie Lane
As you stroll into Winter Wonderland, prepare to be wowed by Luminarie Lane, a breathtaking new lighting installation handmade in Italy. Beneath a canopy of glittering lights, you’ll find artisanal market stalls, international gifts, and seasonal bites that smell like Christmas itself. For a more traditional vibe, the Market Square returns with its cosy wooden chalets and festive bars, the perfect place for a mulled wine moment.
Enter the Mystical Ice Kingdom
Bundle up and prepare to be transported to another world in the Magical Ice Kingdom: A Mystical, Mythical Fantasy World. Sculpted from more than 500 tonnes of ice and snow, this frozen wonderland invites visitors to journey through the Four Realms of Earth, Fire, Air and Water, encountering majestic griffins, icy trolls, and frosty photo ops along the way. Kept at a brisk -10°C, it’s one of Europe’s largest and most breathtaking ice attractions, an absolute must-see.
Eat, Drink & Be Merry
When it’s time to thaw out, wander over to the Bavarian Village for hearty bratwurst, live oompah bands, and the cosiest après vibes in London. New for 2025, there’s also a buzzing Après-Ski Village filled with DJs, festive drinks, and plenty of good cheer. For something truly cool (literally), visit Bar Ice, where everything, from your glass to the bar itself, is sculpted from crystal-clear ice. Sip on shimmering cocktails surrounded by glowing frozen art and neon lights.
Rides, Thrills & Big Top Magic
No Winter Wonderland visit is complete without a spin on the UK’s largest open-air Ice Rink, circling Hyde Park’s Victorian bandstand under a canopy of twinkling lights. For sky-high views, climb aboard the 70m Giant Wheel and take in London’s glittering skyline. Feeling brave? Whiz down the Real Ice Slide or test your courage on one of over 150 rides and attractions. Then, step inside the big top for spectacular performances. Zippos Christmas Circus brings acrobats, trapeze artists, and family-friendly fun, while Cirque Berserk: Ignite promises an adrenaline-fueled show packed with jaw-dropping stunts and daredevil acts.
Whether you’re after a full day of festive fun or a night of glitz and lights, there’s a Winter Wonderland package to match every mood. Choose from:
The Arctic Adventure – Skate the Ice Rink, explore the Ice Kingdom, and race down the Ice Slide.
The Festive Favourites – Take in skyline views on the Giant Wheel, sip cocktails in Bar Ice, and glide across the rink.

From the moment you step beneath the lights of Luminarie Lane to your final spin on the Giant Wheel, Hyde Park Winter Wonderland 2025 is pure festive escapism. It’s Christmas in full technicolour, filled with sparkle, laughter, and the scent of cinnamon in the air.
