It’s finally December! Even with 30 degrees of sunny weather, Mumbai is all geared up for a very merry Christmas. We are not talking about plastic Christmas decorations, but an all-rounder festival with the holiday treats, parades with elves, snow blizzards, and even European-style Christmas markets with mulled wine tasting. Jio World Drive in Mumbai is back with its annual World of Christmas to truly bring the holiday season alive. Certainly, it tops our list of the best things to do in Mumbai during Christmas.
What to expect at World of Christmas Mumbai 2025
Whether you have a kid or you are still a kid in an adult’s body, World of Christmas has something in store for everyone. True to its holiday spirit, it brings the Christmas vibe alive in Mumbai. Here’s everything you can expect.
1. A towering Christmas tree and jolly decors
The World of Christmas is certainly incomplete without a traditional Christmas tree. Right at the heart of the venue towers a 75-foot Christmas tree connected to European-style wooden chalets. 50,000 twinkling lights entwine around the tree, brightening up the Mumbai sky in its most jolly spirit. The star of the show is the star topping it!
From bright red baubles or life-size glittering green elf shoes, the decorations will pull you right into the season’s magical vibes. Needless to our excitement, they even have an artificial snow blizzard breezing through the night. Expect an Instagrammable moment at every turn.
2. World of Christmas treats
What is Christmas without binge eating all those sugary yet delightful treats? Jio World Drive certainly goes all out with a larger-than-life Christmas feast. Let the wafting aroma of sizzling grills and delectable pies guide you through 50+ choices of cuisines and palates. Select from a range of creamy hot chocolates topped with little marshmallows, enjoy the sweetness of colourful gingerbread cookies or seasonal alcoholic beverages like King’s Ginger and punch.
3. Entertainment, entertainment and entertainment
We Indians, are certainly a loud bunch, and so is our Christmas. You will certainly not be experiencing a silent night as dancing elves and enchanting acrobats take to the stage. World of Christmas features world-class acts by Best Kept Secret, Lambada, and even a mind-boggling magic show by Karan Singh. If you would like a bit of soul-searching calm, you can hear or sing along to Christmas carols or watch adorable performances by children at Maple Bear School and Deen Academy.
4. Shopping and workshopping
A Christmas market is not complete until you have done a bit of holiday splurging. From luxury tree toppers and ribbons to wreaths and lanterns, the shops have everything you need to sprinkle your space with holiday magic. World of Christmas features jewellery stores, handicraft sales, seasonally adorable pet accessories (how cute is a dog with reindeer ears?), artisanal shops, and so much more.
If you are looking to get your hands dirty, you can join one of many workshops, painting your own Christmas hanging, decorating cookies, or writing letters to Santa. And if you want to let out your competitive spirit, try a VR adventure or one of many carnival games. There is always a prize waiting at the end.
Finally, there is the entry of the guest of honour at World of Christmas, Santa Claus. With him comes the swarming parade of dancing elves, astonishingly talented jugglers, the cutest smiling clowns, themed floats, and holiday favourite toon stars dancing along the beats of Christmas. You can then visit Santa himself at Santa’s Grotto. Whisper your Christmas lists and find out whether you have been good or naughty. The best part? It’s open to all ages.
End your Yule walk through the snow-frayed path; you will not regret taking endless selfies.
