DUBAI – Expo 2020 Dubai’s special snowfall delighted visitors who gathered in Al Wasl Plaza for a spectacular Christmas tree lighting that saw the dome adorned with magical, festive projections leaving visitors in awe.
The 20-metre-high tree – the highest tree at the World Expo, befittingly situated at the site’s crown jewel – was brought to life by none other than Santa Claus, accompanied by Expo 2020 mascots Rashid and Latifa, who dressed up for the festive occasion.
Santa’s elves were on hand, performing acrobatics next to the tree, while snowflakes, giant toys, baubles and reindeer bedecked the dome, accompanied by the season’s favourites tunes. Later, Santa took his seat as children joined him to share their wish lists and capture the moment on camera.
