Magical Christmas

Feel the magic at Westfield Ruhr Park

Christmas at Westfield Ruhr Park

HO, HO, HO! During Advent, Westfield Ruhr Park is once again transformed into a branch of the North Pole. Not only do we have gifts for young and old, but also a Christmas programme that will make your eyes light up. Our popular squirrel Shoppy, the annual Christmas parade and our sparkling Christmas decorations will make sure of that. You can also look forward to our Christmas huts with churros, hot drinks and scented creations. After your shopping spree, you can have your gifts festively wrapped by our Christmas elves.
