Christmas Village Busan 2026

Christmas Village Busan 2026 will be held from November 26 to December 25, 2026, at the Busan Cinema Center, 120 Suyeonggangbyeon-daero, Haeundae-gu, Busan, and admission will be paid. It is planned to operate with a paid ticket system, but ticket prices, the booking platform, and the booking schedule have not yet been announced, so it is not currently possible to confirm whether advance reservations will be required or whether tickets can be purchased on-site. Around 450,000 people visited in 2025, and for 2026, a paid ticket system to reduce waiting and congestion and a “staying Christmas theme park” concept have been presented as new key features.

From 450,000 visitors in 2025 to a paid ticket system in 2026

Videos related to 2025 introduced Christmas Village Busan as a Santa village operated for 20 days. The official 2026 period is November 26 to December 25, so this year it will change into a month-long theme park operating with a paid ticket system.

The main changes concern the admission method and the way visitors spend time there. In 2026, a paid ticket system will be introduced to reduce waiting and congestion, and a Christmas food banquet hall, curated shops, a Santa parade, busking, and choir performances are planned to be arranged in one space.

Save the address first for getting to 120 Suyeonggangbyeon-daero at the Busan Cinema Center

The destination to enter in a map app is the Busan Cinema Center, and the road address is 120 Suyeonggangbyeon-daero, Haeundae-gu, Busan. Since this is the only route information currently confirmed, it is difficult to provide definitive information about nearby stations or terminals, walking distances, bus routes, or temporary shuttle services.

The daily operating hours and admission closing time for 2026 have also not been announced. Since it is not possible to calculate around the last train or the event end time, a same-day trip cannot currently be confirmed as feasible; you should decide your itinerary after operating hours and return transportation information are released.

The 2026 plaza with a large tree and bell tower

A large tree and bell tower will be placed in the 2026 plaza, with snowfall periods, a Santa parade, choir performances, and communal toast sessions planned to take place around them. Village NPCs with roles such as Santa, postman, lodge owner, and bellhop will also appear at the event venue.

The food banquet hall is planned to offer Christmas seasonal limited-edition menus from local Busan brands, as well as menus from official ambassador Chef Kang Leo and Christmas Village Busan. The curated shops are planned to sell gift items and seasonal limited-edition merchandise.

The walking route is also designed to be divided into different areas. “Snow-Covered Forest” will feature snowmen and a children’s playground, while at the “Lodge,” visitors can relax by the fire and watch busking performances. Whether English guidance, interpretation, or foreign-language signage will be available has not yet been announced, so travelers who need to check details beyond the performance and area names in English may find it inconvenient.

Conditions for 2026, welcomed by Santa, the postman, and the bellhop

The 2026 ticket prices, booking platform and schedule, and exact performance times for each program have not yet been announced. Although it has been decided that admission will be paid, the actual cost cannot be compared, making it difficult for travelers who need to finalize their budget first to make plans.

Operating, cancellation, and refund policies in case of rain, as well as wheelchair and stroller accessibility, have not been announced. Since the program includes sound-producing sequences such as parades, busking, and choir performances, it may not suit people seeking a quiet visit or those who require English guidance. Travelers who have difficulty returning late should not finalize transportation before confirming the closing time.

If you are planning a visit, check the official announcement for ticket prices, the booking platform, operating hours, and return transportation before deciding whether to book.
