Expo 2020 Dubai celebrated Christmas with a day full of amazing activities for everyone to enjoy, from life-size ornaments to seasonal parades. Christmas performers dressed as Santa’s elves, reindeers, and wrapped gifts walked through the grounds spreading festive cheer to eager guests. The audience was also wowed by Disney legend Lea Salonga’s mesmerizing performance at a wonderful Christmas evening event. To celebrate the event, guests came to a halt and snapped photos with the artists. Expo 2020’s streets were also decked out with gigantic decorations, making for a great photo opportunity for Christmas cards. Hundreds of visitors used Expo’s Festive Pass to visit the lovely location, which had been transformed into a winter wonderland for the holidays.
