Starstreet Precinct is gearing up to transform into a winter wonderland, so we’re showing you how to enjoy a festive day out in the neighbourhood! Taking centre stage is ‘Enchanting Snowflakes’, a collection of captivating—and eco-friendly—visual installations that bring the magic of Christmas to life and make the perfect backdrop for all your seasonal Instagram shots. Plus, visitors will enjoy a series of exclusive rewards for dining and shopping in Starstreet Precinct during December!
Kick off your day of festive fun by settling into one of Starstreet Precinct’s many cafés for a barista-made coffee, fresh pastries, or perhaps some indulgent brunch plates. Why not sip on freshly-roasted brews at Blue Bottle Coffee, enjoy Melbourne-style coffee and croissants at Elephant Grounds, or tuck into a fresh, hearty brunch at Blend & Grind?
Once you're fueled up, it's time to explore every detail of the 'Enchanting Snowflakes' installations that will be on display through January 2, 2023. Starstreet Precinct has teamed up with AaaM Architects to curate a truly magical festive display with sustainability at its core. This past summer, Startstreet Precinct's 'Recycle Your Bottles' initiatives collected around 1,700 PET plastic bottles at 16 limited-time recycling points around the Admiralty and Wan Chai neighbourhoods. After being cleaned and shredded, the materials were reproduced into plastic filaments and 3D-printed by the local 3D printing workshop Dreamcubics into the district's captivating Christmas decorations.
Enter this mesmerising display from Queen's Road East, just outside Three Pacific Place, where you'll be immersed in a world of shimmery gold and pearly white 'Snowy Diamonds' surrounded by playful baubles and twinkling fairy lights. Wander through the display, snapping photos along the way, until you find the showstopping Icicle Chandelier Spiral Christmas Tree, an intricate sculpture that fills the Precinct with a dazzling display of lights.
A little further along, step into the glimmering 'Snowball', a gigantic spherical structure filled with mini 2D snowballs featuring intricate snowflakes. Feel the festive cheer from every angle – and don't forget to grab your perfect Instagram shot! As you continue walking up from Wing Fung Street towards Start Street, you'll find gold-tinted, diamond-shaped metal ornaments that will guide you towards the rest of the festive fun.
After waltzing through the 'Enchanting Snowflakes' installations and snapping all your Christmas photos, you’ll probably be ready to grab a bite. Starstreet Precinct is full of enticing eateries where you can enjoy exclusive Christmas dining rewards while satisfying your appetite. Whether you’re craving a feast fit for the Greek Gods at Artemis & Apollo, delicious Vietnamese street snacks at Le Garçon Saigon, or hearty pasta dishes at Pici, you’ll find exactly the kind of meal you’re looking for.
The festivities don’t stop there! From now to December 31, visitors to Starstreet Precinct will enjoy special rewards and rebates of up to 35 percent when they shop and dine around Hong Kong’s most dynamic destination. Get into the Christmas spirit with decadent seasonal meals at the neighbourhood’s restaurants, check off your shopping list at its boutique shopping experience, and be filled with joy as you fall under the spell of this fairy-tale setting. Just be sure to redeem your rewards between 12nn and 10pm at the redemption booth on Wing Fung Street. Spend $300 to $999 in one day to receive a $50 shopping voucher and $50 dining voucher to use in designated Starstreet Precinct shops and restaurants, or over $1,000 to get a $300 shopping voucher and $50 dining voucher to extend the seasonal fun.
Spend your afternoon browsing the many boutiques of Starstreet Precinct and buying festive gifts for everyone on your shopping list. Pick up Japanese streetwear from 45R for your fashionista friend, curated menswear from Salvo for the stylish men in your life, or browse the chic lifestyle collections at WOAW and Monocle for something that’ll thrill even the hardest to please. If all else fails, try SHOP Taka Ishii Gallery or ODD ONE OUT for one-of-a-kind art and prints. After picking up goodies for everyone else, why not treat yourself to a pampering wellness break at Spa L’OCCITANE or a soothing session at PURE Yoga?
