HONG KONG, Nov. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- With Christmas just around the corner, Times Square is introducing the Christmas Elfventure campaign featuring the adorable elf - Lumi! Inspired by the Finnish Christmas elves, Lumi is the latest character created by Japanese artist Kohei Ogawa. Lumi will greet mall patrons at his Christmas workshop at Times Square from November 18, 2023 through January 1, 2024 and is set to melt everyone's heart with his elfventure stories. Patrons will also find a Christmas Elfventure photo booth, where they can make customized Lumi-themed WhatsApp stickers. Of course, Santa Claus will make a delightful visit to celebrate this festive season with Times Square members. In addition, a Christmas carol and violin performance will await patrons on December 19, 2023. What's more, Times Square is giving out the Times Square x Kohei Ogawa 2024 calendars. Now – get ready for a sleigh-load of holiday joy!


Lumi the Elf turning Times Square into Christmas workshop with a 6-meter Christmas tree

Aligned with the usual tranquil mood of Kohei Ogawa's works, Lumi the Christmas Elf is characterized by his big sparkling eyes and cheerful demeanour that will surely capture everyone's heart. For the Christmas Elfventure campaign, Lumi has set up his Christmas workshop at Times Square, where he will be eager to showcase all the diligent efforts of his fellow Christmas elf buddies preparing for this festive season.

To share the joy and the fun, Lumi invites patrons to join his team! Simply take a headshot at the "Christmas Elf Enrolment Counter" by the workshop entrance and obtain your customized e-work pass to embark on a dream journey at the Christmas elf workshop! Each pass comes with a unique QR code. Upon completion of designated tasks, participants will be rewarded with a secret gift!

Got the pass settled? It's time to check out the Christmas elves' task list on the construction blueprint. Scan the QR code on the candy cane scanner to illuminate the construction blueprint and get on with the first task – gift wrapping! While Lumi the elves are working around the clock to fill a massive gift box with Christmas ornaments, scan the QR code on the candy cane scanner by the gift box to activate the machine. The Christmas ornaments will go straight into the box, and Lumi will thank you for your kind help!

As soon as you finish working, take a tour around the Christmas workshop to say hi to the 17 Lumi the elves. You will notice that elves are elves – while most are busy working, there is a cheeky one that is hiding somewhere. All tasks will be considered complete once you find him; a Christmas tree paper craft model will be given to recognize your hard work.

Every day at noon, 3 pm, 6 pm, and 9 pm, Lumi the elves will ring the Christmas bells inside the workshop to cheer for the other working elves. At the end of the Christmas workshop, patrons will find some elves busy adorning a 6-meter star podium and a 6-meter Christmas tree. Take a few snapshots with them as a way to show your support!
