The warmest Christmas experience of December is happening at the Lidl Food Academy.
If there’s a place this year that brings together everything we love about the holidays—kitchen aromas, children’s smiles, flavors, creativity, and a relaxed festive vibe—it’s the Lidl Food Academy. On Saturday, December 20, and Sunday, December 21, the Lidl X’mas Open Days return, transforming the space into the coziest Christmas spot in town, open and free for everyone, with the signature of Lidl Cyprus.
Here are 7 reasons to add it to your schedule now.
1. Because children aren’t just visitors—they’re the stars
At the Lidl X’mas Open Days, children don’t just follow the adults. They create, experiment, play, and actively engage in the Christmas spirit through themed workshops and activities that spark their imagination. Crafts, colors, festive materials, and creative chaos (the good kind!) make them feel part of the magic.
2. Because it’s one of the few outings that truly works for the whole family
The Lidl Food Academy is designed to welcome families without stress. Strollers, kids, voices, movement—all fit in a space that doesn’t demand ‘quiet’ but allows relaxation. Parents enjoy themselves, children are creatively occupied, and everyone feels comfortable. An outing that requires no compromises.
3. Because holidays start with taste
Let’s admit it: Christmas begins in the kitchen. At the X’mas Open Days, sweet and savory Christmas treats, small festive bites, and favorite holiday flavors await you to try them. All lovingly made by the chefs of Lidl Food Academy in an environment that instantly puts you in the right mood.
4. Because food lovers will feel at home
The Lidl Food Academy isn’t just a beautiful space—it’s a reference point for those who love gastronomy. Here you can get ideas for your holiday table, be inspired by new combinations, and see how classic flavors can take on a more modern twist. A place that speaks directly to your foodie side.
5. Because it’s a scene straight out of a Christmas feed
Lighting, decorations, festive details, tables full of sweets, and authentic moments of creation. These days, the Lidl Food Academy becomes one of December’s most photogenic spots. Stories, reels, photos with coffee in hand or smiles covered in powdered sugar—the material for social media is everywhere.
6. Because it’s an ideal excuse to gather with friends
Whether you go with friends, family, other parents or even colleagues, the Lidl X’mas Open Days have this relaxed, open vibe that makes everyone feel comfortable. There’s no program you ‘must’ follow—you enter, taste, chat, laugh and enjoy. An event that easily becomes a new Christmas tradition.
7. Because you don’t have everyday access to Lidl Food Academy like this
The X’mas Open Days are a rare opportunity to experience the Lidl Food Academy from within—open to the public and in full festive operation. To see how a brand turns gastronomy into an experience and invites people to be part of it. It’s that visit that starts from curiosity and ends with ‘it was worth it.’
