The Emirates’ most enchanting festive tradition returns, inviting families and friends to come together in a real-life Winter Wonderland and create festive moments to treasure forever. Journey through a forest of Christmas trees, mail your wish list straight to the North Pole, smile and say freeze with magical photo opportunities, and meet Santa Claus himself and his merry band of elves, all surrounded by real snow.

Sensory-Friendly Sessions for People of Determination

These dedicated sessions are designed to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for people of determination, featuring operational adjustments such as reduced or no background music in both the warm and cold sides, thoughtful interactions from staff, elves, and Santa, and team members who are trained in basic sign language. Wheelchair accessibility is also ensured so that every guest can enjoy a seamless experience.

The Ski Dubai Winter Wonderland Sensory-Friendly Sessions will include Meet Santa on 15 December (06:00 and 07:00 p.m.) and Breakfast with Santa on 15 December (08:00 a.m.), while the Snow Abu Dhabi Sensory-Friendly Sessions will feature Meet Santa from 15 to 19 December at 06:00 p.m.
