City Of Enchantment At Sandton City

Joburg Admin / December 8, 2025

5 – 28 December 2025 | 9 am to 6 pm

Step into a magical festive world at Sandton City this December as the iconic centre introduces its brand-new holiday experience: the City of Enchantment! It's the most wonderful time of the year to get creative, share some heartwarming family moments, and take in all the festive magic.

What Can I Expect At City Of Enchantment?

Sandton City’s centre court will transform into a magical festive world from 5 to 28 December! Get a proper dose of festive spirit through a selection of creative, interactive holiday stations for your family. If your little ones are fans of sugar (and really, which children aren't?), this is the location of dreams. Decorate giant cookies at Sprinkle & Sugar or design doughnuts with Krispy Kreme at Donut & Dazzle! The craftier bunch can personalise baubles or mini festive trees at Trees & Twinkle and Baubles & Bliss.

At Words & Wishes, the kids can write letters to Santa before meeting him for a festive photograph. You'll also enjoy charming touches such as Santa’s wishing well, a drawbridge into his world, and a reindeer merry-go-round. Festive joy isn't just for kids, though! Adults can unwind at the Château Gâteaux pop-up, enjoying drinks and delicious cake slices. Whole cakes are also available for take-home indulgence.

The experience runs daily from 9 am to 6 pm.
