Liverpool ONE is set to transform into a winter wonderland, complete with rides, live performances, and a giant bauble archway.
The festive season will officially begin on November 8, with the introduction of a 25-metre Christmas tree and the popular Bar Hütte.
The Christmas Shopping Weekend on November 16 and 17 will feature an early 'White Christmas', with 'snow' falling over parts of Liverpool ONE.
Adding to the festive cheer, Liverpool-born pianist Brad Kella will perform on November 16.
The 23-year-old, who won Channel 4’s The Piano earlier this year, previously impressed visitors at the Tickle the Ivories piano festival.
A string quartet will also perform during the two-day extravaganza, and a Golden Ticket competition will provide a £250 prize each day for one lucky winner to spend at Liverpool ONE.
Santa and his elves will make appearances, and a postbox for Santa will be set up.
From November 16, a free Christmas Trail will return, providing an interactive journey around Liverpool ONE's decorations and shop windows for youngsters to enjoy.
The trail will feature riddles and games to keep families entertained.
Thursday evenings from November 21 will feature magical Christmas moments every week, including giant ice sculptures, illuminated penguins, choirs, and a carol-oke singalong.
Santa’s Band will make a special visit on December 19.
Mosh Tots, a gig for kids aged 1-8, will entertain young ones and Christmas shoppers on November 24.
The gig, set up by Wirral-based Future Yard, introduces children to live music.
Liverpool ONE’s 12 Days Christmas Advent Calendar competition will kick off on December 1, offering daily prizes worth over £250 from Liverpool ONE brands.
Shopping hours will be extended from December 16, with shops open from 9am to 9pm.
