KUCHING: Award-winning tHe Spring Shopping Mall is decked up with special decorations and an iconic 15.2-metre Christmas tree to share Yuletide joy.
The Spring Management Services general manager Datin Christine Ling shared that themed ‘Christmas is here’, the decorations were inspired by ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’.
tHe Spring Shopping Mall in-house team came up with the décor complete with a giant beanstalk, castle, golden egg and golden harp to enchant shoppers as they visit the childhood fairy tale given a playful twist with Jack as a garden mouse welcoming shoppers to explore his village, Mausville, and pose for the perfect ‘wefie’ with Jack, the magic harp and golden goose.
Mausville houses the tHe Spring’s Christmas market with stalls offering plenty of stocking-fillers and delicious Yuletide treats.
“Our desire to make tHe Spring the destination for shoppers to indulge in Christmas shopping spree sees tHe Spring spreading the excitement of Christmas through our festive event and activities, and to memorialise this perfect season with a ‘selfie’ or ‘wefie’ with family and friends,” said Ling.
In ‘Eggciting’ quests from Dec 6, shoppers can pick up a Quest card and collect an Egg sticker for every RM150 spent in single receipt.
