At Fawkes, kids can meet their favourite snowman, and at Tiffin, they can gather around for festive storytelling with Seeka Sings and write and mail their very own letter to Santa—and these are just a few examples of everything you can explore!
Rumour has it the Grinch will be manning the outdoor ice bar at Black Pearl…
