As the festive season approaches, the shops of the Principality invite you to experience a month of magic in Monaco’s shopping districts.  From Saturday 6 December 2025 to Saturday 3 January 2026, the lively streets of La Condamine, the famous Boulevard des Moulins, the Larvotto complex, and the shopping streets of Monte-Carlo will host a variety of free events and activities for families, residents, and visitors to enjoy.

It’s that special time of year again, and the magic of Christmas is coming to every neighbourhood of Monaco:

• Gospel choirs will be singing well-known Christmas carols;
• Santa Claus and his elves, fairy-tale characters, magicians and street artists will be roaming the streets, creating moments of festive joy for the whole family.

There will be activities especially for children in two locations:

• At the Larvotto complex, a Christmas chalet will be running arts and crafts workshops, whilst kids can get their photo taken with Santa himself, and post their wishlist in a special letterbox. There will also be a trampoline, a chair swing ride, and a stall selling sweets and candies to get everyone in the seasonal spirit.
• On Boulevard des Moulins: another Christmas chalet will be offering creative activities for kids, and the chance to meet Santa.  There will also be a letterbox where you can post your list off to Santa.

Organised by the Union des Commerçants et Artisans de Monaco, with  financial support from the Prince’s Government, these events are a chance to rediscover Monaco’s vibrant shopping streets in a fun, festive, family atmosphere.
