This year’s “Christmasland in New Taipei City” partners with the world-renowned IP “LINE FRIENDS & LINE FRIENDS minini” to present a heartwarming, whimsical Christmas celebration full of color and joy. “Christmasland Opening Event” lit up the “Fun Circus Tent” Christmas Tree, a symbol of dreams and joy, along with the surrounding themed light installations and dazzling decorations. Echoing the theme of a “Circus Carnival,” the event also featured the grand performance “Dreams Take Flight: The Flying Circus.” Inspired by the idea of dreams taking off, the show combined giant hot-air balloon installations, aerial silk acrobatics, interactive circus parades, and visual light dance performances, creating Taiwan’s first-ever “air-and-ground dual-axis interactive show.” The immersive performance transported audiences straight into a circus carnival bursting with energy and wonder.

The world-renowned 3D projection mapping show also made a stunning debut, adding brilliance to the festive evening. Created by a professional projection team from Singapore, the show employs exquisite light-and-shadow artistry to bring the LINE FRIENDS characters vividly to life on the facade of New Taipei City Hall, transforming the entire building into a circus stage glowing with magic. This year’s light projection performance goes even further, linking the second-floor LED corridor with the “Fun Circus Tent” Christmas Tree in a synchronized display that envelops the entire plaza in dynamic, flowing visuals. The result is a fully immersive spectacle of light and sound that captures the audience in an atmosphere of wonder and enchantment. The opening storyline begins with Brown and Cony exchanging messages, setting off a journey into the digital world as the countdown begins. One by one, their LINE FRIENDS companions join in, weaving together scenes of laughter, friendship, and shared memories - depicting those small yet precious moments of connection that define our modern lives. Each message, each heart sent, carries warmth, longing, and blessings, reminding us that even across great distances, joy and love can still travel through the screen and reach one another’s hearts during this special Christmas season. Visitors are warmly invited to come and experience the dazzling magic and festive spirit of the Christmasland Circus.
