PETALING JAYA: Eastern & Oriental Berhad (E&O), in collaboration with local entrepreneur community Cloud Club, recently hosted Andaman Island’s first large-scale community Christmas event, the Fa-La-La Christmas Market which has attracted about 30,000 visitors.
The Fa-La-La Christmas Market, held over three days, featured 60 vendor booths, offering a wide variety of products, from fashion and beauty to desserts, pet-friendly items, and artisanal gifts. Vendors were selected to ensure a diverse mix of offerings, including bringing specialities beyond traditional F&B and creating a vibrant marketplace.
Inspired by the Christmas Village of the North Pole, the event was filled with interactive activities such as snowing sessions, carol singing, live band performances, a s’mores bonfire, Santa’s meet-and-greet and workshops. The snowing sessions, a rare and magical experience in Penang, emerged as the crowd favourite, transforming the event into a winter wonderland.
Executive chairman Datuk Seri Tee Eng Ho said the festive celebration showcased Andaman’s focus on creating a dynamic and sustainable environment that appeals to both residents and visitors alike.
“As the first community-centric event on Andaman Island, this was a wonderful opportunity for Penangites to experience what the island has to offer while enjoying the festive season. This event highlighted Andaman as not only a destination for eco-conscious living but also as a launchpad for local entrepreneurs to connect with a wider audience,” he said.
