Christmas is almost here, yaaaay! In a true show of what the festive season is really about, Sunway Velocity Mall's celebrations this year involve giving back to the community, awwww. <3

After a long year of being separated from our loved ones, Sunway Velocity Mall's theme of 'Together For Good' personifies the community rebuilding and reuniting once again for a common goal — to celebrate this joyous season with those near and dear to our hearts.

Bringing you something different this year, Sunway Velocity Mall's giant 40-foot-tall Christmas tree is made out of repurposed packaging materials, wherever possible

Made by stacking recyclable boxes of various sizes that feature the mall's outlets, and prettily tied up with an exceptionally large Sunway Velocity Mall bow, this special Christmas tree not only reduces waste, but also symbolises building and coming together as a community for a good cause.

What's extra special about the giant Christmas tree is that you can press a button to light it up, ooooo! And of course, the festive atmosphere would not be complete without the many strings of Christmas lights encircling the mall.

You'll also find Santa's helpers, the little elves, scattered around the mall, along with small Christmas tress that have been transformed from repurposed paper bags of various brands.

With their minimalist design this year, Sunway Velocity Mall is staying true to Sunway Malls' Sustainable Development Goals

Instead of spending on decorations, the mall is instead redirecting that budget towards Corporate Social Responsibility efforts by giving back to the community.

Feast your eyes on the special tree, plus Sunway Velocity Mall's other gorgeous festive decorations:

To encourage people to give back to the community, Sunway Velocity Mall has set up a donation drive at their ground floor concierge counter

As each person donates to a good cause at the concierge counter, the accumulated donation amount will be shown on the giant Christmas tree's LED screen.

And if you're taking photos with the tree or around the mall, make sure to upload your amazing shots on Facebook and Instagram, tag @sunwayvelocitymall, and include #SVMChristmas2021 #SunwayForGood in your caption. For every photo uploaded and tagged, Sunway Velocity Mall will donate essentials to the needy.

This Christmas, let's do our part to give back and spread some festive cheer! :)
