Suria KLCC Makes History with Malaysia’s First Outdoor Skating Rink for Christmas 2025

Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic retail landmark has once again set the bar higher for festive celebrations. Suria KLCC has earned a prestigious entry into the Malaysia Book of Records for unveiling the first-ever outdoor skating rink in the country, launched under its A Majestic Christmas campaign. Running from Nov 22, 2025 to Jan 4, 2026, the campaign transforms the KLCC precinct into a magical holiday destination anchored by the PETRONAS Twin Towers.

The move strengthens Suria KLCC’s position not only as a premier retail hub but also as one of Kuala Lumpur’s most influential lifestyle destinations—an important element for tourism, experiential retail and the broader kl property ecosystem.

A New Benchmark for Festive Experiences in Malaysia

Suria KLCC executive director and CEO Francis Tan emphasised that the mall’s objective goes beyond seasonal decoration.

“Suria KLCC is more than just a shopping mall; it is a place where memories are made and experiences are shared. This year’s ‘Majestic Christmas’ theme, highlighted by the Christmas tree and the record-breaking First Outdoor Skating Rink, is designed to deliver an unforgettable, world-class holiday experience,”
— Francis Tan, CEO of Suria KLCC

The highlight of the season is the sprawling outdoor skating rink constructed around the mall’s towering 80-foot Christmas tree at the Esplanade. Against the backdrop of the PETRONAS Twin Towers and KLCC Park, the skating track brings a winter wonderland to tropical Malaysia—something no competing mall can replicate.

The Festive Skating Experience runs daily until Dec 25, drawing families, teens, tourists and office workers looking to enjoy a first-in-Malaysia spectacle.
