Humbug: The Immersive Christmas Dive Bar
New to the scene this year? Humbug: The Immersive Christmas Dive Bar, where you can expect an adults-only grotto experience with a bad Santa and all his pals. Think interactive story telling, naughty cocktails and OTT decor - spanning everything from tinsel and tartan to Home Alone-themed murals and a shrine to Mariah Carey. But that's not all, since there's a flurry of snow as part of raucous performances too.
It wouldn't be snowy scenes without Santa.

The O2
This year, The O2 is giving you the chance to experience the highest snow globe in the world, as a sparkly dome complete with the good stuff will be landing atop the famous building on the 22nd of November.
You'll have to scale The O2 to get to it, which is a thrilling experience in itself, and as soon as you reach its spectacular sphere you'll be met with Christmas trees, gingerbread cookies and bubbles - the perfect festive recipe if you ask us.
There's no business like snow business atop The O2.
