IT is Starling’s second Christmas and the mall has pulled out all the stops to deliver a spectacula­r experience for the whole family.

All-day-fun: Sesame Street and festive performanc­e

It will be sweet memories for parents and a memorable event for kids as characters from the classic educationa­l television show Sesame Street, which first aired in 1969 and is into its 48th season this year, come to live at the Starling.

The Starling’s main atrium is transforme­d into a full-blown Sesame Street Christmas Garden. It has presents for kids, rows of glittering Christmas trees, a train, giant fun slides and a beautiful stage for some unforgetta­ble theatre and carolling.

Kids will get a full day of free passes to Sesame Street Playland, sand art, colouring, games and workshops.

There will also be free instant photo giveaway daily on the green screen (first come first serve basis).

Come feel the Christmas spirit with carefully curated shows and performanc­es to entertain and impress.
