The story starts here
The first chapter
Legend says that each December, as winter settles over the ancient woodland surrounding Hazlewood Castle, the friendly Keeper of Christmas returns to awaken the forest with festive magic.
This December marks the very first chapter of Christmas Kingdom. For the first time, families are invited beyond the castle gates into the Secret Forest, where thousands of twinkling lights, magical moments and festive adventures await around every corner.
Wander beneath glowing woodland canopies, meet Santa in his Woodland Grotto, gather around crackling fire pits and search for the legendary Keeper of Christmas. Every path leads to a new magical experience, and every family helps keep the magic alive.
Be among the first to discover the beginning of a magical new Christmas tradition at Hazlewood Castle.
