Where else could you wander through the streets dressed as a Christmas tree? Dress up as your favourite Christmas character or item and join your fellow Hong Kongers on a journey through the 12 Pubs of Christmas for a great cause. The event is free but donations will be collected on the day for local charity Room to Read. Pub goers will be given a wristband which gives them access to some fantastic deals in bars such as Beer Bay, Stormies, Rula Bula, Solas, Typhoon, and Joe Bananas. The pièce de résistance is taking over the Star Ferry for a rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas!

What better way to celebrate the festive season than by singing and bowling with Santa Claus? Before he rounds up his reindeer and hops on his sleigh, the big guy will be paying a visit to Tikitiki Bowling Bar to play some funky bowling and strike a turkey (three strikes in a row!) Each of the ten bowling lanes will have a "funky" yet entertaining style of bowling, such as bowling backwards, through the legs, and left handed bowling, that kids can enjoy taking part in. There will also be a chance to sing some Christmas carols as Tiktiki’s lively house band, Frankie Hollywood and the Tiki Birds, will be performing favourite holiday classics.
When: December 13 (2pm - 5pm)
Where: Tikitiki Bowling Bar, 4/F, Centro, 1A Chui Tong Road, Sai Kung
