Covent Garden Will Get Winter Snow Every Day This Year
When it comes to London, the likelihood of a white Christmas is always pretty low one. Whilst snow occassionally shows up in January or February, it’s unusual for it to actually start falling on 25th December. However, if you go to Covent Garden this year, you’ll see there’s a temporary solution to this festive failure.
The London district will be getting covered in fake snow every day over the Christmas period. Covent Garden’s piazza is already going to be decorated with London’s largest Christmas tree as well as 115,000 lights, so this will fit right in. This special winter event also happened last year, and whilst there’s no specific date for the snowfall to start this time around, it has started early November in previous years.
Elsewhere in Covent Garden, on the 8th November the Christmas lights on the 60 ft high tree will be turned on, with some 30,000 bulbs illuminated. It’s also adorned with a large tag and bow. There’ll also be giant baubles, mistletoe and mirror balls in the Market Building.
London may not get real snow this year, but you can get the next best thing at Covent Garden
Further, if you’re in the mood for some Christmas entertainment, two different productions of The Nutcracker will be playing at the London Coliseum, performed by English National Ballet from 14th December 2022 -7th January 2023, and the Royal Opera House performed by the Royal Ballet from 6th December 2022 – 14th January 2023.
So, with a huge Christmas tree and a massive array of lights, snow falling every day, and entertainment provided by some of London’s best venues, plus all of Covent Garden’s other treats on offer, you should definitely pop to the famed West End district over the coming winter and enjoy some festive cheer.
