Christmas joy in full swing across Malaysian malls

KUALA LUMPUR, 30 Nov 2022:

Christmas cheer has arrived at many malls around the country, with those in the Klang Valley going all out to woo patrons with outreach messages that go beyond season’s greetings.

IPC Shopping Centre is stepping up its green approach through its twice-recycling concept for Christmas decorations.

General manager Karyn Lim said festive decorations and structures are made of sustainable materials – such as recycled paper and compressed wood boards – inspiring shoppers that festive celebrations can be sustainable and fun, without compromise.

“Also, in conjunction with our 19th anniversary, we have added new enhancements to our Tack Club loyalty programme where shoppers can convert their shopping spend into points for additional rewards. Shoppers will receive double Tack Points this December.”

On Dec 17 and 18, a specially designed cutlery holder set is given free to IPC Tack Club members at i-Counter on Level G. These two days also offer all Tack Club and little Små Club members a football-themed challenge to win IPC Goodie Bags, cutlery holder set, and up to 400 Tack Points.

As a Christmas highlight, shoppers will receive a RM10 Christmas e-voucher with a minimum spend of RM200 and a special eco-friendly biodegradable Swedish happi.kloth with a minimum spend of RM600. IPC Tack Club members will enjoy the same promotional offers at a lower shopping value of RM500.

The inspiration and narrative for this year’s Christmas and upcoming Chinese New Year celebration is Ӓndra the Rabbit. Ӓndra, which means ‘change’ in Swedish is friends with Dala, the iconic Swedish horse and Tomte.

Continuing past traditions, Sunway Malls is introducing their one-of-a-kind Mushroom character for its various outlets – with Mushy Claus (Sunway Pyramid), Fairy Belle (Sunway Velocity Mall), Pretty Pointy (Sunway Carnival Mall), Antleroom (Sunway Putra Mall), Elfie (Sunway Big Box Retail Park), and Snowie (Sunway Giza Mall).
