Magical Christmas in Madrid

From 14 November 2025 to 6 January 2026, the Exhibition Centre in Torrejón de Ardoz, just half an hour outside Madrid, will become the leading European Capital of Christmas, with a wide variety of activities and attractions for all the family. It is a unique space spanning more than 100,000 m² with various themed areas, among which the light and sound show or the video mapping projected on the church in the Main Square can be highlighted.

The 2025 season features several new additions, such as El Vuelo de Santa (Santa's Flight), a unique experience in which Santa will fly through the sky in his sleigh every day. This year, the Magical Door will be illuminated with the animated video mapping story of Casca and Nueces. It is a visual and narrative show in which Casca and Nueces, two endearing bears, guide spectators through an enchanted story in which a little girl's imagination brings a castle of dreams to life. Another new feature is the musical show The Secret of the Grinch, which brings together live artists and voices in a show that hides a surprise in every scene. 

The Ice Festival, which is back for its fourth edition to amaze visitors with a theme that will excite children and adults alike: Heroes and Villains, can also be highlighted. Sculptors from around the world carve giant blocks of ice to bring the most iconic characters to life, ranging from mythological legends and contemporary heroes to the most iconic villains from popular culture. 

There will also be plenty of beloved classics, such as the life-size nativity scene that offers a tour of the most iconic passages in the history of Christmas and the 42-metre-high Giant Ferris Wheel. Furthermore, the Christmas House offers a magical experience where visitors can meet the Three Wise Men or Father Christmas in an oak house in which the imagination runs wild and Christmas wishes come true with letters. Each day draws to a close with a dazzling fireworks display with Rocking Christmas at the Magical Door. 

Like in previous editions, there will be a Christmas market and catering area with the Bierhaus space to savour the best German beers, as well as incredible and varied dishes accompanied by live shows, or the Christmas Village, the most magical food area for families.

Magical Christmas can be visited by private car with 3 public and free Christmas car parks (1, 2 and 3) at the Exhibition Centre. The Town Hall recommends the use of public transport, as the Torrejón de Ardoz Suburban train station is located next to the main entrance. The centre is inclusive so people with functional diversity will be able to park, enter and contemplate the main show in the areas set up for this purpose.
