‘Tis the season to be jolly once again and the holiday spirit seems to have taken over a lot of establishments around the world, including Odaiba‘s famous 18-meter 1:1 scale RX-78-2 Gundam.

The new Christmas and winter theme started yesterday, November 30, 2013 and featured a winter version of the Gundam statue light-up, a Christmas melody version of the Gundam chime and the Gundam Stand at Jaburo.

Santa Gundam and Santa Zaku also joined in on the holiday celebrations as the two holiday-themed mobile suits appeared in the 32m × 11.5m big screen where Gundam Stand at Jaburo is usually shown. The two have become a welcome addition to the lights show.

A special Christmas video will also be shown on Christmas day, December 25, 2013, along with the usual winter light-up displays.

The winter version of the Gundam light-up will be implemented for a limited time from November 30 until January 13, 2014. The light-up can be viewed Monday to Saturday, from 17:00 – 23:00. The Christmas version of the Gundam chime will also be played from 18:00 – 22:00 and the Gundam Stand at Jaburo will be played at 13 minute intervals.
