The Magic Christmas at Avenue Mode: An Unforgettable Day

Once upon a time, at Avenue Mode, a magical event was set to turn November 23rd into a true Christmas tale. By 10 a.m., the crisp winter air was filled with excitement as the first families gathered, eager to experience this special celebration.

The Santa Claus parade began in front of Marshalls, with Santa and his loyal entourage of elves, reindeer, and surprises making their way down the street. Children’s eyes sparkled with joy as they waved at the festive procession. This parade was like no other: it was full of colorful characters, cheerful music, and the kind of joy that filled the air with a sense of wonder.

After the parade, families made their way to the activities set up in front of the Sports Experts store, where more magic awaited. Farm animals frolicked, offering children a rare chance to pet them. Some little ones took a pony ride, beaming with excitement. The holiday spirit was contagious as families explored the various entertainment options.

Creative workshops were set up for children to decorate their own Christmas ornaments, creating lasting memories. Meanwhile,  performers wowed the crowd at the Théâtre des Rennes with magic tricks, percussion shows, and circus acts, adding a touch of enchantment to the day. Laughter and applause filled the air, making the event feel even more festive.

Nearby, the cheerful mascots roamed the streets, giving hugs and taking photos with the children, spreading joy wherever they went. Guests could also enjoy delicious snacks and hot drinks while taking in the lively atmosphere. The Harden Express Train offered rides for everyone, taking families on a scenic tour around the holiday wonderland, all under the twinkling lights that adorned Avenue Mode.

Of course, the highlight of the day was meeting Santa Claus. Families lined up to greet him, take a family photo, and receive a small gift. There was no need for reservations or tickets—just come, enjoy, and let the magic unfold. It was a first-come, first-serve moment, and the smiles on everyone’s faces said it all.

The event, completely free for all to attend, left everyone with a sense of joy and wonder. As families departed, they couldn’t help but feel a little closer to the magic of Christmas. And, of course, to stay connected, everyone was invited to follow the event on Facebook for future updates.

On that special November 23rd, Avenue Mode was transformed into an enchanted world, where the dreams of children and the smiles of adults merged under the sparkling lights of the Harden Christmas celebration.
