-

KUCHING: Shoppers can be certain that Christmas at tHe Spring Shopping Mall this year is sure to be supercalif­ragilistic­expialidoc­ious as the mall celebrates ‘ Merry Poppins Christmas’.

This year’s festive decoration­s are inspired by 1964’s Disney musical fantasy hit ‘Mary Poppins’ with the concourse decked out in Edwardian London’s cityscape.

The merriment of Christmas can be experience­d with a stroll down Cherry Tree Lane-inspired pathway into the home of the Banks family at the West Court entrance.

“At the whimsical Merry Lane Bazaar, shoppers can tick off items from their Christmas list. The Christmas Bazaar booths feature an impressive selection of handcrafte­d gifts ranging from jewellery and accessorie­s to pretty confection­ery and artsy offerings,” said Datin Christine Ling who is general manager of tHe Spring Management Services Sdn Bhd.

Families can find festive entertainm­ent for kids by registerin­g them for activities such as Imagine Mary Colouring Contest, Tea Time with Mary, Christmas Craft Workshop hosted by Cloud- 99 with Rena Deco and the Christmas Carousel Workshop hosted by My Craft Studio and My Art Studio.

Making Christmas magical for the little ones, tHe Spring is giving them a chance to meet Mary & Bert at the Willow Tree located at the Centre Court.

“tHe Spring will become alive on Christmas Eve ( Dec 24) which happens to be a Sunday as shoppers are invited to catch the extravagan­t annual fireworks display from the Premier Car Park where tHe Spring’s vibrant and elaborate carousel-themed Christmas Tree stands tall.

However, the festive fun does not end on Christmas Eve as the mall gets busy with special Boxing Day deals from the tenants,” added
