ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise HUUHA Land for achieving a meaningful regional milestone in festive cultural innovation with the creation of the:
Most Malaysia Culture–Themed Wishing Ornament Cards Hung on an Outdoor Christmas Tree at a Christmas Bazaar (10,000 wishing ornament cards produced and distributed for public hanging from 5th to 28th December 2025).
This recognition marks a significant moment in Malaysia’s creative, cultural, and festive tourism landscape—highlighting how Malaysian identity, art, and community participation can be woven into a large-scale public celebration.
A Festive Landmark Inspired by Malaysian Culture
Standing approximately 9 metres tall, the HUUHA Outdoor Wishing Christmas Tree is a distinctive festive installation designed by a single Malaysian artist and brought to life through 10,000 Malaysia culture–themed wishing ornament cards.
Each ornament card features festive artwork inspired by iconic Malaysian elements such as Kopi Ikat Tepi, Roti Tisu, Kuih Bahulu, Wau Bulan, and Nasi Lemak Bungkus. Accompanied by short cultural narratives, the cards transform everyday Malaysian traditions into meaningful festive symbols—turning the Christmas tree into a collective storytelling canvas.
From 5th to 28th December 2025, visitors to the Christmas bazaar were invited to collect the wishing cards, write personal wishes, and hang them on the tree—creating an evolving public artwork shaped by thousands of voices and hopes.
A Celebration of Community, Creativity, and the Malaysian Way of Christmas
HUUHA CHRISTMAS was curated as a festive cultural showcase in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, featuring immersive snow experiences, creative workshops, festive markets, and community-driven spaces.
At the centre of the celebration stood the ASEAN Records–recognised Outdoor Wishing Christmas Tree, symbolising how Malaysians reinterpret Christmas through:
- Cultural symbolism
- Artistic storytelling
- Community participation
- Shared values of unity and hope
The initiative reinforces Kuala Lumpur’s appeal as a creative and culturally rich festive destination for both local visitors and regional travellers.
