Christmas 2025 in Valletta Officially Kicks Off

Valletta is preparing to embrace the festive season with the launch of Christmas in the Capital 2025, a programme organised by the Valletta Cultural Agency that will bring Christmas magic to the city from 25 November to 31 December.

This year’s celebrations promise to fill the capital’s streets and squares with a joyful festive spirit for over a month.

The programme features a variety of much-loved traditions and lively performances. Among the highlights is the cherished traditional procession with Baby Jesus through Valletta’s historic streets, accompanied by a live choir. Visitors can also enjoy live concerts by Klinsmann, Kevin Paul, The New Victorians and Riona; roaming performances by Tikka Banda; and a selection of interactive activities for children.

A special choral performance by the prestigious Cappella Musicale Caeciliana Choir will take place at the Jesuit Church Oratory, adding a classical touch to the festive celebrations. The season will culminate in Valletta’s massive annual New Year’s Eve celebrations, making the capital one of the most vibrant destinations during the holidays.

The highly anticipated lighting up of this year’s Munita Christmas Tree took place in Valletta, with creators Henry Galea, Jason Zerafa and Ryan Pillow present for the big launch

Present for the ceremony were Minister for Culture Owen Bonnici, Valletta Cultural Agency chairperson Jason Micallef and Valletta mayor Olaf McKay.

This year’s festivities are supported by a substantial €650,000 investment, aimed at enhancing the city’s Christmas experience and ensuring a memorable season for residents and visitors.
