The free event will be a fully immersive digital experience, creating a snowy Winter Wonderland for visitors, with performances streamed live from the UK’s biggest Christmas party at The O2 via Global Player. The livestream will be accompanied by an interactive Snow Globe experience with a photographer on hand to snap photos of guests for an instant digital takeaway of themselves. There will be a seating area to enjoy the show, a hot chocolate stand and Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball merchandise giveaways for Barclaycard customers.

The performances will be streamed at the heart of Outernet in the ‘Now Building’, displayed on floor to ceiling digital screens that are four-storeys high, with 360-degree visibility and a 16k screen surface – the most advanced of their kind in the world. With full directional surround studio sound, viewers will experience a front row seat at the UK’s Biggest Christmas Party!
