Monte-Carlo Transforms into a Festive Wonderland for Christmas 2025

Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer is celebrating the holiday season with a series of festive experiences across the Resort, offering visitors an immersive Christmas atmosphere from November through January 6, 2026. This year’s edition, themed “The Monte-Carlo Christmas Magic,” features music, decorations, gourmet creations, and family-friendly entertainment.

On the Place du Casino, the iconic giant snow globes surround a 20‑metre Christmas tree, accompanied by five new immersive scenes: The Enchanted Ballet, The Christmas Choir, The Reindeer Tea Time, Christmas Sky, and Midnight. Visitors of all ages can follow the story of five reindeer—Flocon, Rose, Hercule, Stella, and Rudolph—with appearances by Santa Claus and his choir on December 20, 21, 24, and 25 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. 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., weekends in December and daily during school holidays.

Holiday decorations extend throughout the Resort, from Avenue des Beaux-Arts to Allée François Blanc and One Monte-Carlo, where boutiques remain open daily in December except on Christmas Day. Christmas chalets on Avenue de Monte-Carlo, open from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. (8 p.m. during school holidays) until January 4, 2026, offer festive treats and décor.

The Resort’s hotels contribute to the festive atmosphere with signature displays, including the Chopard Christmas tree at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the Marco Traverso tree at Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, and musical boxes at Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort.

Special events for children and families include Christmas Afternoon Tea with Santa Claus at Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo from December 20–23, New Moods Kids events on December 21, and workshops, entertainment, and creative activities.

Gourmet experiences feature signature Yule logs, the Cedric Grolet Christmas Tea Time at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo from December 17 to January 4, a Black Truffle Evening at Pavyllon Monte-Carlo on December 12, and seasonal pop-ups, including the Perrier-Jouët Pop-Up at Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, the Christmas Chalet in Jardins Boulingrins, and the Blue Gin Chalet.

A giant Advent Calendar at Casino Café de Paris allows My Monte-Carlo loyalty members to open a daily window from December 1 to 24, with prizes totaling over €24,000. The Resort also offers festive menus for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve, including a New Year’s Eve ABBA Tribute at Sporting Monte-Carlo.

Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer’s holiday programme combines festive décor, cultural entertainment, and culinary excellence, inviting residents and visitors alike to experience the magic of Christmas in the heart of the Principality.
