Jeddah’s entertainment calendar is getting a festive upgrade this year with the arrival of Winter Wonderland, making its Red Sea debut as part of Jeddah Season 2025. Set to open this December at Roshn Waterfront’s Al-Nawras Square, the event brings a family-friendly mix of rides, shows, and seasonal charm to the city’s scenic shoreline.

Inspired by the hit Riyadh edition, Jeddah’s Winter Wonderland will feature more than 40 rides and games, live performances, and roaming characters designed for maximum Instagram appeal. The space will be divided into four themed zones with seven types of attractions, striking a balance between high-energy thrill rides and gentler experiences for younger visitors and families.

Beyond the funfair atmosphere, there’ll be cafés, pop-up food stalls, and retail booths offering festive treats and souvenirs, making it perfect for a winter evening stroll.

The new opening joins a packed Jeddah Season 2025 lineup, which includes a women-only beach inspired by the West Coast, an indoor forest installation, a Gold Expo, the return of fan favourite HorrorCon, and the Jeddah Shopping Festival.

If Riyadh’s experience is anything to go by, Jeddah’s Winter Wonderland is set to become a seasonal staple.
