Lagos is set to experience a refined take on Christmas celebrations as ‘The Mood Market by Riella Luxé’ hosts its First Edition Christmas Fair on Monday, December 22, 2025.
The one-day lifestyle fair will take place at the rooftop venue of Maison Fahrenheit VI, running from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., with free entry for members of the public.
Conceived as a lifestyle-led festive experience rather than a conventional market, the event is designed to offer a softer, more intentional approach to Christmas shopping and social engagement.
Set against the backdrop of the Lagos skyline, the fair blends curated retail with food, music, and community-focused interactions.
According to the organisers, The Mood Market by Riella Luxé brings together a selection of intentional brands spanning candles, beauty, fashion, art, gourmet treats, and festive food offerings.
The concept places emphasis on mood, thoughtful gifting, and immersive experiences, creating a relaxed yet celebratory atmosphere for attendees.
True to its name, The Mood Market allows guests to shop how they feel. The fair is thoughtfully curated into distinct mood zones, making it easier for attendees to navigate, connect with brands, and discover meaningful gifts that reflect emotion and intention rather than excess.
The defining moment of the evening will take place at 8 p.m., with The Mood Market Christmas Tree Light-Up Countdown, a first-of-its-kind festive moment aimed at creating a new Lagos Christmas tradition.
The live countdown and lighting of the Christmas tree will symbolically mark “Lighting Up Lagos Christmas,” bringing guests together in a shared holiday celebration.
Food plays a central role in the experience, with a variety of festive food vendors offering comfort meals, holiday-inspired bites, and celebratory treats designed to complement the relaxed, lounge-style atmosphere.
Guests are encouraged to eat, unwind, and stay, turning the fair into a full-day-to-night Christmas experience rather than a quick shopping stop.
Beyond shopping and food, the event promises an atmosphere designed for presence and relaxation.
With DJ-led music throughout the day and into the evening, a dedicated lounge and chill area, and an open rooftop setting, guests can enjoy good music, festive meals, and conversations under the night sky.
Speaking on the vision behind the fair, founder and curator Gabriella P. Okechukwu said, “The Mood Market was born out of a desire to change how people experience Christmas shopping.
“Instead of overwhelming fairs, we created a curated, rooftop space where people can shop their moods, enjoy good food and music, and find gifts that truly mean something.
“The Christmas tree light-up represents our vision of building a shared festive moment Lagos can return to every year.”
By blending intentional shopping, festive food, music, atmosphere, and tradition, The Mood Market by Riella Luxé positions itself as a refreshing addition to Lagos’ Christmas calendar; one that prioritizes mood, memory, and meaningful celebration.
