A local mall is getting ready for the holidays in a unique way!
This holiday season, Mapleview Shopping Centre announces the arrival of Holiday Magic. It’s an immersive and imaginative gingerbread city experience for families, featuring gingerbread house decorating, a hot chocolate bar, and festive photo opportunities. Holiday Magic opens its doors on Friday, December 6th, with registration now open. All proceeds from Holiday Magic support McMaster Children’s Hospital.
“Mapleview Shopping Centre is thrilled to welcome the community and families to explore the whimsical gingerbread-themed wonderland of Holiday Magic, while celebrating the season’s spirit of giving back,” says Sydney Roberts, Marketing Manager at Mapleview Shopping Centre. “We’re incredibly proud to continue our partnership with McMaster Children’s Hospital as we approach a $500,000 donation milestone, thanks to the ongoing generosity of our community and shared commitment to making an impact.”
From December 6th through Monday, December 23th, families are invited to step into a magical and marvelous gingerbread-inspired world where children are welcome to decorate and take home their own A-frame gingerbread house and enjoy a delicious, made-to-order hot chocolate with festive toppings of their choice from the Holiday Magic hot chocolate bar. Families are also invited to snap a ‘ginger-perfect’ photo moment against the bustling gingerbread city backdrop, where candy-lined streets and frosted rooftops set the perfect holiday scene. Sessions run for 30 minutes, and each session is priced at $15 per child, with 100% of ticket sales benefiting McMaster Children’s Hospital. The activation will be located on the centre’s upper level near Sporting Life.
Mapleview Shopping Centre’s annual gift-wrapping service returns this year with proceeds supporting McMaster Children’s Hospital. Gift wrapping services start on Friday, November 29th, and will be located on the lower level by Guest Services.
