Lee Gardens Christmas 2025–2026: Murakami Flower Lights, Games and Parade Changes

Lee Gardens’ 2025 Winter Wonder Bloom used an artistic flower landscape rather than one giant Christmas tree as its defining image. Takashi Murakami’s smiling flowers became overhead illuminations, while Hysan Place hosted a CASETiFY collaboration store and game area. Looking at lights, shopping for collectibles and playing the games were separate reasons to visit.

This guide looks back at winter 2025–early 2026. The components had different closing dates, and a return for Christmas 2026 is not confirmed here. The originally planned November opening parade was cancelled.

Historical dates: do not extend every component together

The MURAKAMI WORLD shop and games were later extended to 15 January, but the outdoor illuminations and fragrance pop-up kept their separate calendars.

For a light-focused visit, the illumination calendar mattered. For accessories or games, the Hysan Place schedule was the relevant one. General shop opening hours did not establish that the game area stayed open equally late.

Thirty metres of flowers, not a thirty-metre tree

The historical installation used an approximately thirty-metre overhead span with close to a hundred colourful smiling flowers around Lee Garden One and Two. A separate three-metre FLOWERIAN artwork added a character-scale focal point. Together, they formed a route for viewing the flowers overhead and the character at closer range.

The measurements refer to different objects: the long flower-light span and the height of an art figure. Neither is a Christmas-tree height. The appeal was the relationship between overhead lights and a closer character installation, making a walk through the area more appropriate than treating it as a single tree photograph.

Daylight revealed the shapes and colours; after dark, the lighting became more prominent in the streetscape. There was no reason to plan around an assumed hourly lighting ceremony. For a future season, use the actual opening arrangements.

Four games and a photo-stamp point

MURAKAMI WORLD transformed Hysan Place’s fourth-floor Urban Park into a flower-themed interactive space. Its five activities included photography, rather than five mechanical rides.

Completing the prescribed goals earned stamps towards the reward arrangements. Receiving a game card was not a guarantee of the highest-value prize, and attempting a game did not necessarily earn the same item as completing it successfully.

Game-card conditions were separate from viewing the lights

The historical ways to obtain a card included purchasing the collaboration range at the pop-up or spending HK$200 at a Lee Gardens shop, together with registration in both CASETiFY and Lee Gardens memberships.

Read the activity’s own full conditions before claiming a card. Do not assume that another mall promotion’s same-day, payment-method or receipt-count rules also apply here.

The purchase and membership conditions concerned the game card. They should not be presented as an admission charge for viewing every public decoration in the district. Decide first whether the aim is a light walk, a particular accessory purchase or participation in the games; the budget and time required are different.

The third-floor store and a small-tree workshop downstairs

Shop 301A carried the TAKASHI MURAKAMI x CASETiFY range, including Hong Kong-exclusive designs and accessories such as passport covers and sticker packs. This was a brand pop-up, not a multi-vendor Christmas market. Blind-box presentation also did not guarantee a chosen design.

The fragrance pop-up on the first floor offered a more conventional Christmas-tree connection. Maison Margiela Fragrances used a starry-night setting and seasonal packaging, with a small-tree workshop involving starry crystal-globe elements. Check the workshop’s own session, price and reservation arrangements rather than expect a free walk-in place.

A companion interested in fragrance or making something could therefore choose a different part of the campaign from the games. The fragrance store’s 2 January end and 20 December exclusion still needed to be checked separately.

The planned November parade was cancelled

A Night Parade had been planned for 29 November 2025 as a launch highlight, but the 29–30 November Arts in the Park event was cancelled. The original 20:30 parade did not take place as advertised.

A later Night Parade was announced for 7 February 2026. It was a separate New Year arrangement, not a nightly Christmas attraction or a continuation of the cancelled November performance.

Getting there and meeting at the right building

Hysan Place is at 500 Hennessy Road, reached through Causeway Bay MTR Exit F2. Within the mall, the fragrance pop-up was on L1, the collaboration shop at 301A and the games at L4 Urban Park.

The outdoor flower route also involved Lee Garden One and Two. Their addresses are 33 Hysan Avenue and 28 Yun Ping Road respectively. Agreeing simply to meet at “Lee Gardens” could put one person outside Lee Garden One and another inside Hysan Place.

For a light-focused outing, put the street decorations after dusk and any shopping or games earlier. For a short stop before dinner, choose one main activity instead of treating the district as a compulsory checklist.

Frequently asked questions

Was there a thirty-metre Christmas tree?

No. Thirty metres described the flower-light span. FLOWERIAN was a separate art figure.

Did viewing the lights require HK$200 spending?

That amount was one route to a game card, not a general admission fee for public decorations.

Was one membership enough?

The historical card arrangements required both CASETiFY and Lee Gardens memberships.

Did everything continue until 15 January 2026?

No. The shop and game extension was separate from the illumination and fragrance dates.

Did the 29 November parade take place as advertised?

The November event was cancelled. The later February announcement concerned a different arrangement.
