Walking in a Winter Wonderland!

As opposed to my conventional style of blogging, I've decided to write a post about my fantastical experience when visiting Hyde Parks Winter Wonderland. With 1 day left before Christmas day, I paid a visit to the very festive park this year and took a merriment of pics that I thought I could share with you just in time. 


Despite the cold weather and blustery winds, I made the most of the experience whilst sipping on some cinnamon spiced mulled wine and a range of velvety chocolate delights! London's Winter Wonderland has an abundance of market stalls, food and fun rides available for all visitors, and with the entrance to the park being free, it was a totally magnificent experience where I felt like I was sharing in on all Christmas celebrations alongside thousands of other Yuletide lovers! Everything here is larger than life, as the whole park has been transformed into this magical kingdom filled with festive fun and cheer. And if you haven't been before, its worth paying a visit to this year or the next!


Take a look at some of my exclusive pics from Winter Wonderland below :) 


If you're looking to purchase some fine bespoke jewellery pieces, then this Winter Wonderland stall may just be the best place for you! It has an absolute variety of earrings, necklaces and rings crafted with precious stones and designs at a highly affordable price. Everyone loves a bit of last minute Christmas shopping, and with a merriment of jewellery pieces available you can still pick up a gift or two. Whatever you precious gemstone or favourite design, the Winter Wonderland is the place to go!


The moment you begin walking the vast array of market stalls, you can't help but stop and admire these beautiful scarves. Worn predominately as fashion scarves as opposed to winter warming essentials, these hand croatia pieces will make a fabulous fashion statement anytime of the year. I'm particularly fond of the red scarf, which would look fabulous with a little black dress! A real treat to bargain for when you get two for a mere £25.00!



No market stall is officially complete without the essential winter warmers, and these fabulous designs capture ones attention from a distance. Hats and scarves available in a range of bright and beautiful colours can really work to add a little bit of colour to your winter wardrobe! From gorgeous leopard prints, floral designs and fur fabrics - this market stall has everything to keep you snug and warm this Christmas! I couldn't help but treat myself to a classic winter hat too. 


Some amazing treats and delicacies made using fresh ingredients also make for the perfect gift for many families and friends. I bought myself a selection of the coconut cream bakes and chocolate brownies, which will add to the festive dinner this Christmas. Going that extra mile and adding a few more food options for your guests never fails to impress!




The Star Tavern is the best place to get your alcoholic beverages from and the place to shake a leg to! The Star Tavern has been transformed into a life size pub, and with festive music playing around you can't help but get your groove on. If you're looking to sit down for a short while, the Star Tavern is the place to head to! It breaks up the whole experience perfectly - without making you feel overworked before the experience is over!


One of the biggest German Cafe's has been put together to tantalise your tastebuds! From fresh pastries, hot dogs and freshly prepared German desserts, there are an abundance of German delights available under this roof! A highly popular eatery!



How adorable are these Christmas decorations?! These are the perfect kind of gifts that would make the perfect kind of stocking fillers. Filled with delicious handmade chocolate, I particularly like the decorated robin to the left, it's just so miniature and cute! 



If you prefer getting involved in some fun activities, then you could always head to this stall where a mountain of prizes are waiting to be won!  From large stuffed bears, to small stuffed toys, the chances of winning a prize at this stall are extremely high! Go on, it's Christmas! 



Ending the night by visiting Winter Wonderland's very own ice rink was indeed a high octane experience I won't forget! As carols and other festive musical numbers were being played live, myself and many other skating-lovers really felt a part of the Christmas spirit on the ice rink. It's one of the most beautiful outdoor setups I have seen, and whilst my skating skills still need brushing up a little, Winter Wonderland will be an experience I will remember for a long time to come!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! MAY YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY FILLED WITH LOTS OF JOY AND MISTLETOE! LOVE, KIN X
