Originally called Christmas Bazaar when it launched in 1953, the annual event was held at various locations before it moved to CentralWorld.
Last year's bazaar raised over 7.5 million baht, which was used to support 66 charitable projects to support healthcare, provide medical equipment and improve educational infrastructure, especially for children and women in rural areas.
