Walkin' In A Winter Wonderland - Hyde Park, London

When my family was in London, I decided to take them to the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. I know my siblings (I think my mum as well?) have never been to a Christmas Market since we've celebrated Christmas in Singapore every single year.
Being their first Christmas Market experience, the family was very excited, and ALOT OF food was consumed that evening.

Compared to Manchester Christmas Market, the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland has a lot more music and excitement. Probably because it is getting closer to Christmas and things are getting festive ;)

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland also seems bigger, and has all these games and rides - children and adults screamed as they are being swung high up into the air. 

My siblings and I are always up for a rollercoaster ride, but when the temperature is 5degrees, we'd rather have our bratwurst sausage and just watch from the ground. Pretty sure our faces will freeze if we're up there. 

As expected, the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is a very popular Christmas season destination for both travelers and Londoners. The best time to go to avoid the crowd is about 5pm on a weekday. Never EVER go on a weekend. My family tried entering on a Saturday evening, and there was a horrifyingly long queue it was as if there would be a Taylor Swift concert performance in the market. Going on a weekday = less children + you can breathe while walking around + you get to stop and take some photographs. More importantly you get to have dinner at the market without having to deal with long queues and being shoved around! 

The way they grill the salmon is just too cool!

The good thing about winter time is that it gets dark at 4pm. It feels like night time at 5pm and you get the feel of a Christmas Night! This is the only time I'm glad the sunsets early.
