Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong, has announced its Christmas 2026 program, Enchanted Adventure, bringing together interactive workshops, family encounters with Santa and a festive two-night stay package.

For families planning a holiday in Hong Kong, the lineup offers two distinct ways to meet Santa: a one-hour adventure through themed rooms or a shorter lobby visit with a framed photograph. A separate accommodation package extends the celebrations into the hotel’s Family Floor suites.

Help the elves in Santa’s Secret Kingdom

Santa’s Secret Kingdom invites families into a Christmas mystery: the elves need help restoring a treasured tradition before Santa begins his journey.

The one-hour experience moves participants through three character-led activities—a musical game, a paper lantern workshop and an arts-and-crafts session with something to take home. It concludes with a private family encounter with Santa.

The announcement also highlights a personalized letter from Santa as part of the seasonal offering.

Tickets are priced at HK$648–HK$748, depending on the date, with registration at the hotel’s fifth-floor counter. The hotel lists October 3 as the public ticket-sale opening date through Shangri-La Boutique, with on-site purchase also offered.

The supplied announcement does not specify the complete operating dates or how many participants each Secret Kingdom ticket covers.

Each session includes a printed and framed photograph with Santa and a gift to take home. The announced session prices cover up to four guests.
