Riyadh's Winter Wonderland to Bring Festive Cheer to Jeddah Season

The sunny coast of Jeddah may not experience a white Christmas anytime soon, but this December the city will get its own frosted corner when Winter Wonderland debuts as part of Jeddah Season 2025. The pop-up park - already a December staple in Riyadh Season - arrives with promises of ice-skate grooves, carousel lights, and enough hot-chocolate energy to make you forget you’re in the Gulf.

Organisers are keeping exact zone details under wraps for now, though Riyadh crowds have previously enjoyed snow-dusted skating rinks, circus tents, and storybook installations tweaked for local tastes. Jeddah’s edition is expected to remix those crowd-pleasers - adding a few surprises to keep seasoned wanderers on their toes (or skates).

Beyond the rides, Winter Wonderland will stage a massive parade, complete with costumed dancers and theatrical floats - a festive wink to the city’s growing appetite for live, open-air spectacles.

Winter Wonderland Jeddah is slated to run from December into early 2026, with ticketing details set to drop closer to opening night.
