Christmas Village Busan 2025 is transforming the Busan Cinema Center into a full-scale holiday town from November 27 to December 25, giving visitors a chance to step straight into Santa’s world.

Designed as an open-air Christmas village, the festival lets guests wander through a storybook setting where elves, fairies, Rudolph, and Santa himself move through their seasonal preparations.

At the center of it all stands an 8-meter-tall Christmas tree, glowing with lights that anchor the village’s warm winter atmosphere.

Guests can expect hands-on fun, from ornament making and cookie decorating to holiday shopping at themed stalls.

Food is another major highlight. Celebrity chef Leo Kang, serving as this year’s food and beverage director, has prepared a comforting winter menu featuring goulash, currywurst, strawberry tiramisu, and s’more hot chocolate.

The Busan Gourmet Selection also returns, uniting top local restaurants to create exclusive dishes, most notably a collaboration between Michelin-recognized eateries Outro by Vito and Yakitori Haegong.

Admission is free, and visitors can check the event’s official Instagram for updates.
