We always love our annual outing to Schilliger, but this year felt extra special. The theme for 2024, La Fabrique du Père Noël (Father Christmas’ Workshop), transformed the space into a festive wonderland bursting with charm. From Father Christmas himself to his industrious elves, every corner is a delight to explore.

I don’t want to spoil too much—you really need to see it for yourself—but the display beautifully captures the magic of a traditional Christmas. Imagine dazzling Christmas trees, inspiring decoration ideas, and tables set with enviable tableware. The attention to detail is incredible, from the twinkling lights to the carefully curated ornaments that add a touch of magic to every display. There’s something for everyone, including an array of gourmet treats and thoughtful gifts for the entire family. Whether you’re looking for unique stocking stuffers or elegant centerpiece ideas, Schilliger has it all.



Beyond the stunning displays, Schilliger offers a full calendar of festive activities during the season. Here are just a few highlights:


  • Food & Drink Degustations: Perfect for discovering new festive flavors, these tastings will inspire your holiday menus and introduce you to delicious regional specialties.

  • Christmas Tree Bauble Personalisation: A fun way to create unique keepsakes. Watch your children’s faces light up as they design their own ornaments to treasure for years to come.

  • Contests for Children: Adding an extra layer of excitement for the little ones, these contests are a fantastic way to engage and entertain them.
