Unwrap the Magic of a Beary Merry Christmas with city’super’s Lavish Festive Delights

(1 November 2024, Hong Kong) city’super launches its joyous 2024 festive campaign, ‘Beary Christmas’, starring the store’s beloved ambassador Chef Polar to usher in superior gourmet, gifts and decoration selections for seasonal merriment. This exciting global shopping journey spans city’super’s four gastro-markets, in Harbour City, ifc mall, Times Square and New Town Plaza, and two neighbourhood stores in AIRSIDE, Kai Tak, and THE SOUTHSIDE, Wong Chuk Hang.
