- INSPIRE to create festive ‘winter wonderland’ atmosphere with new media art series changing by the season, gorgeous digital chandelier accompanied by a Christmas tree, diverse hotel packages and F&B promotions, and public events such as New Year’s countdown
- Presenting endless fun with ‘all-in-one entertainment’ that includes accommodation, culinary experience, concerts, art, and events, only available at an integrated entertainment resort
[Monday, December 2, 2024 – Incheon, South Korea] Mohegan INSPIRE Entertainment Resort (President Chen Si, “Mohegan INSPIRE ” or ” INSPIRE “) announced the launch of its resort-wide 2024 winter campaign, ‘INSPIRE Winter Wonderland.’ From new media art content at its digital entertainment street ‘Aurora,’ to hotel packages and F&B promotions tailor-made for winter season, and a variety of public events for all visitors and membership guests, INSPIRE has put together a special campaign only available at an integrated entertainment resort.
On top of a rich lineup of performances by top Korean and international artists at the INSPIRE Arena this winter, INSPIRE will offer a wide range of things to see and do during the year-end holidays, from Christmas to New Year’s, delivering endless winter holiday excitement with the seasonal campaign.
- New ‘Aurora’ media art and decorations to heighten the year-end holiday mood
From December 2 at its signature attraction ‘Aurora,’ INSPIRE introduces new media art. The new content, which will replace the existing content displayed in between the show time art content at every hour and hour-half, will portray the scenes of a village that changes as the seasons pass, from winter to spring.
In December, the content will be themed as ‘Santa’s Village,’ and the mega-sized LED screens at Aurora will display a snowy fairy-tale-like village where Rudolph may appear any minute pulling a sleigh down the sky. The content features houses and large trees decorated in the festive Christmas spirit, with many different Santas scurrying around the village preparing for Christmas in their own ways, giving spectators the fun of discovering the whereabouts and activity of each Santa. Towards the end, the content becomes even more dramatic and exciting as the giant elder Santa sleds across the entire 150-meter-long Aurora in a golden track and drops off boxes of presents.
The scenes at the village will change with a new seasonal look in January when the New Year begins.
In addition to the Aurora, the multi-purpose circular hall ‘Rotunda,’ another signature digital art spot at INSPIRE, features a large Christmas tree this winter. The kinetic digital chandelier hanging from the ceiling currently displays special media art to accompany the tree and is already being loved by many visitors for photo-taking. Christmas-themed sculptures are also installed at the Aurora and Spanish Stairs as well, to enhance the holiday mood.
- Tailored room packages for the holidays
INSPIRE has also prepared a variety of room packages, from holiday-specific packages to packages for the entire winter season, for those planning for a staycation during the holidays.
The ‘Santa’s Surprise Suite’ package offers guests an unforgettable Christmas experience with an overnight stay in a special Christmas-themed suite. With this package, guests can drop off pre-prepared gifts at the hotel concierge upon check-in, and ‘INSPIRE Santa’ will deliver it to their room, along with a special gift from INSPIRE. This package is perfect for guests who want to make the holidays special for their children or other loved ones and can be booked between December 21 to 25.
The ‘Winter Double Credit Special’ package is perfect for guests who want to combine a staycation with a culinary experience, offering KRW 300,000 worth of credit at INSPIRE signature restaurants and bars for a one-night stay with the package. Available for booking during December 20 to 31, the package is perfect for guests to try a variety of menus and enjoy an enriching dining experience, especially in conjunction with INSPIRE’s exclusive holiday food and beverage promotions at INSPIRE-owned restaurants and bars during this period.
Lastly, INSPIRE also presents the ‘Winter Strawberry Afternoon Tea with Aperol Spritz’ package, which offers afternoon tea in the ‘Horizon Lounge,’ themed around the seasonal fruit strawberry and the iconic Italian aperitif liqueur cocktail, ‘Aperol Sprit,’ and two more exclusive packages for members of INSPIRE’s lifestyle membership program ‘Momentum’ that anyone can join for free.
- From dining to dessert, plentiful festive F&B promotions
To make the holiday season even more exciting and sweet, INSPIRE offers an expanded lineup of Christmas cakes than the previous year. From a classic cake that highlight the flavor of fresh strawberries to cakes with extravagant designs that accentuate the holiday spirit, INSPIRE has prepared a diverse lineup of cakes. The five festive cakes, including ‘Christ Matcha’ with a chocolate tree on top, and seven petit cakes are available for reservation until December 22 and can be picked up at Horizon Lounge or Forest Lounge between December 20 to 25.
In addition, INSPIRE-managed restaurants and bars will be offering rich festive menus for the winter season. For the entire month of December, ‘Aurora Bar’ will offer two specials, the ‘White Christmas & Santa Sangria (cocktail),’ and ‘Santa Hot Chocolate (non-alcoholic),’ while the casual Chinese restaurant ‘Hong Pan’ will offer the ‘Peking Duck Couple Set’ and ‘Pecking Duck Family Set.’
Beginning December 20, when the holiday season begins in full swing, ‘Chef’s Kitchen,’ an open kitchen concept buffet featuring international cuisines, will add a pasta station and the Christmas essential roast turkey to its menu. Furthermore, festive sets will be available at ‘Horizon Lounge’ and French-style all-day dining ‘Brasserie 1783,’ and festive sharing menus will be available at Garden Farm Café, so that families, friends, and couples can enjoy a hearty meal together during the holidays.
- Public events for everyone to enjoy
INSPIRE will also host a variety of public events for all resort visitors to enjoy during the winter season.
From December 21 to 25, INSPIRE will host a photo opportunity with Santa at the photo zone in front of the plaza on the first floor of the ‘Spanish Stairs,’ the rest area between the Rotunda and INSPIRE Mall. Organized to create unforgettable moments for families and children visiting INSPIRE during the Christmas season, the event will take place three times each day at 2:00 pm, 4:00 pm, and 6:00 pm.
Over the same period, the Aurora Bar will be hosting mini concerts each day at 4:00pm and 9:00pm, featuring performances full of the Christmas mood. The concerts will feature a wide range of genres, from crossover, fusion traditional Korean, jazz, to acoustic, and can be accompanied by cocktails and drinks at the Aurora Bar.
On the final night of the year, moving on from December 31 to Jan 1, INSPIRE will host ‘INSPIRE’s Endless Midnight Countdown.’ From 9:30 pm to 1:00 am the next day, guests can welcome the New Year with a spectacular countdown party at the Aurora. The party will feature special shows only available at the event, such as DJ performances, a beatbox a cappella show, and an LED balloon drop at the Aurora. In addition, a special afterparty will be held at ‘MJ23 Sports Bar and Grill’ located at the Aurora, to continue the excitement of the countdown party.
“We have prepared a rich lineup of entertainment to ensure that everyone who visits INSPIRE can end the year and begin a new one with unforgettably fun memories,” said Michael Jensen, Chief Marketing Officer at Mohegan INSPIRE. “We hope that guests will be able to spend a special festive season through the ‘INSPIRE Winter Wonderland’ campaign which brings endless fun over the entire winter season not only with diverse concerts at INSPIRE Arena, but also accommodation, culinary experience, media art and entertainment.”
