Penang is about to get a dreamy holiday makeover. After the buzz of FaLaLa 1.0 last year, FaLaLa 2.0 is returning with a bigger, brighter and snowier festive experience, this time transforming Andaman Island into a Snowy Nutcracker Wonderland.
Happening across two weekends, 12–14 December and 19–21 December 2025, the celebration runs from 4pm to 11pmdaily. Expect gentle snowfall, glowing festive lights, Christmas harmonies in the air and curated moments that feel straight out of a holiday movie.
A Christmas Market Filled With Wonder
Visitors will be greeted by warm fairy lights, soft snowfall and FaLaLa’s signature Christmas tree, lit on opening night at 8pm on 12 December. The festive market features artisanal stalls, handmade gifts, sweet treats, cozy seating corners, and Instagram-ready spots along the illuminated waterfront.
Families can enjoy the Kids’ Bumpy Ride playground, friends can gather at the Bonfire S’mores corner, and yes, it’s pet-friendly, so your furry companions are welcome too.
Workshops That Feel Like Keepsakes
Each night comes with hands-on workshops, including wreath-making, terrarium crafting, perfume blending, candy apple dipping and meringue decorating. The popular Little Chef sessions return, giving young bakers a moment to shine.
Simple, meaningful, and perfect for memory-making.
Performances & Festive Moments
Expect Christmas carollers, Nutcracker ballet moments, a family-friendly Treasure Hunt and Santa’s nightly appearance. The Drum Circle on 20 December brings rhythm to the evening, while the K-Pop Dance Competition adds a burst of youthful energy on the final night.
A Celebration for Penang and Everyone Who Loves Christmas
“Hosting FaLaLa 2.0 at the E&O Gallery on Andaman Island allows us to present Penang’s most recognisable Christmas celebration in a setting that reflects the state’s continued growth and appeal,” said Dato’ Seri Tee Eng Ho, Executive Chairman of Eastern & Oriental Berhad.
With snowfall sessions, live music, make-a-wish moments under the Christmas tree and the Andaman seascape sparkling in the background, FaLaLa 2.0 offers one of the most elegant festive atmospheres in Penang.
Come with family, meet friends, or wander solo, there’s something warm waiting for everyone.
