It’s a tradition Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer would never forgo. This year again, the Resort transforms into a festive wonderland, enchanting the holidays with music and an entirely new décor displayed throughout Monte-Carlo until January 6, 2026. From spectacular decorations and family-friendly entertainment to gourmet creations by world-renowned chefs, Christmas in Monte-Carlo promises unforgettable moments for visitors of all ages.

Snow Globes, a Giant Christmas Tree, and Musical Magic on the Place du Casino

The iconic giant snow globes return one last time to the Place du Casino, encircling a majestic 20-meter Christmas tree. The 2025 edition introduces the theme “The Monte-Carlo Christmas Magic,” featuring five new immersive scenes: The Enchanted Ballet, The Christmas Choir, The Reindeer Tea Time, Christmas Sky, and Midnight. Classic Christmas melodies accompany each tableau.

Children—and adults—will follow the story of five charming reindeer: Flocon, Rose, Hercule, Stella, and the beloved Rudolph. Santa Claus himself will make appearances with his traditional choir on December 20, 21, 24, and 25, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Adding to the wonder, the façade of the Casino de Monte-Carlo will host a sound and light show every 30 minutes, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., each weekend in December, and daily during school holidays.

A Festive Stroll Through the Resort

From the Place du Casino, the holiday spirit extends along Avenue des Beaux-Arts, Allée François Blanc, and One Monte-Carlo, where luxury boutiques of the Promenade Shopping Monte-Carlo open daily throughout December (except the 25th).

From November 14 to January 4, charming Christmas chalets return to Avenue de Monte-Carlo, offering elegant decorations and gourmet treats from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. (until 8 p.m. during school holidays).

The Resort’s hotels continue the tradition of festive collaborations with prestigious Maisons. Visitors can discover:

• The Chopard Christmas tree at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo,
