Enjoy a Christmas movie under the starlight

Do you have any specific festive season traditions? One of mine is to watch (for the 500 time) Love Actually. But this year, I won’t be watching it from my sofa (even though I do love doing so, all wrapped-up in a blanket while eating gingerbread biscuits and drinking hot chocolate) but outdoor, enjoying the beautiful backdrop of Hong Kong by night together with my favorite romcom/Christmassy movie and probably a glass (or two) of mulled wine.
 
Moonlit Movie – until Dec 22
The Hong Kong Observation Wheel and AIA Vitality Park, 33 Man Wong Street – Central
Full Screening Schedule is available here
