Adelaide families are in for a treat this December with the arrival of Glitter Pines, a brand-new immersive Christmas experience created by Stage Lab. This world-premiere event invites guests to step into a glowing forest filled with lights, music, snow, and magic. The perfect celebration of Christmas for all ages.

Running from 6 to 21 December, Glitter Pines transforms Sunjive Studios in Adelaide’s western suburbs into a spectacular wonderland of creativity and festive cheer. Visitors will wander through hundreds of sparkling Christmas trees, shimmering pathways, and interactive installations designed to delight the senses and spark the imagination.


The highlights

One of the highlights of the experience is the 20-minute light and music show, which runs every hour. During this performance, the entire forest comes to life through synchronised lighting, sound, story, and special effects. A true visual feast that captures the heart of Christmas.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Guests can also enjoy a variety of interactive zones throughout the space, including LED screens that respond to movement, a snow area where snow falls from above, and even a VR experience that takes visitors beyond the forest. Younger guests can add an extra touch of sparkle with a glow-in-the-dark Christmas tattoo.

Rainbow Reindeer + Ice Cave

Among the many highlights inside Glitter Pines are the Rainbow Reindeer and the enchanting Ice Cave. The colourful Rainbow Reindeers bring bursts of joy and festive cheer to every corner. Each one glows in a spectrum of colours, creating the perfect photo opportunity and adding a playful touch of Christmas magic that kids absolutely love.

Together, the reindeer and Ice Cave help make Glitter Pines a truly magical experience for guests of all ages.
