Get Merry at Fourways Mall's Jingle Bell Academy

Kim Brown / November 21, 2025

Fourways Mall is stepping into the festive spirit with a cheerful lineup that brings holiday magic, relaxed entertainment and thoughtful conveniences together, all in one place. The focal point of this year’s merry programme is the return of Santaland! It's back for its sixth year, themed as The Jingle Bell Academy, a playful training ground where children discover what it takes to become Santa’s little helpers.

The Jingle Bell Academy: Where Festive Imagination Comes To Life

From 10 to 24 December 2025 and open daily from 9AM to 8PM, The Jingle Bell Academy will take the beloved Santaland adventure even further. This time, the experience will include a lovely journey through a series of Christmas houses. Each stop along the way introduces children to a different part of elf training, heading up to their moment of “graduation” with Santa.

Children will have fun decorating cookies, scooting through a magical chimney, practising stacking presents quietly, writing letters explaining why they would make excellent elves, and listening to the gentle story of an elf’s journey. They will also get to enjoy festive face painting, explore toys, browse a little Christmas shop and have fun with lively activations from Exclusive Books and Oh My Cake. The experience ends with a photograph with Santa.

Tickets cost R50 per child and can be booked at Quicket.

Booking is recommended.
