Venice Grand Canal at McKinley Hill, launched their exciting “Grandeur of Christmas” celebration for the holiday season with the lighting of the floating 40-foot christmas tree at the famed canal.

With the return of our beloved Grand Christmas Parade and an array of enchanting holiday experiences, our aspiration is for everyone to come together with their loved ones and relish the events they've missed the most,” said Graham Coates, head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.
