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.

Covent Garden
From tourists to Instagrammers and all the Londoners in between, Covent Garden is attracting a flurry of festive activity this winter. The Central London hotspot has once again been decked out with giant trees, gorgeous mistletoe installations and over 100,000 stunning lights.
As if that wasn't enough, there are dustings of snow every. single. day. in December - with a load of the white stuff falling on the hour, every hour between 12 and 9pm.
Don't miss performances from The Royal Opera House dancers.
Miracle On Leake Street
The city's alternative festive event is back for 2024, with the quirky graffiti tunnel hosting all sorts of fun. Not only can you expect a Christmas street party and cabaret performances, but also faux snow, wreath-making and food from the area's top market traders. Get down to Leake Street on the 5th of December for this completely free event.
Expect snow at both ends of the Leake Street tunnel this year.
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.
Experience pure joy and magic at Covent Garden's Seven Dials Market this winter as it'll be covered in snow every Wednesday to Sunday.
The Snow Glode event will be a street food-filled winter wonderland with sessions from 8.30pm on Wednesday and Thursday, and earlier ones at 4.30pm and 6.30pm too from Friday to Sunday. Umbrellas are included so grab a seat in the snow zone, then head to the bar for a complimentary glass of Telmont Champagne.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
