Places to see ‘snow’ in Malaysia
The closest that most of us Malaysians have gotten to experiencing snowy weather is when we blast our aircons at the lowest setting possible. It’s this, or editing ourselves into that viral 3-picture snowy edit.
While frosty air and icy temperatures may never be a thing in our corner of the world, we have these snowfall events in Malaysia that bring us closer to those white Christmases we see online and in movies. And they are all free to experience too.

In the heart of KL city, Avenue K is hosting a magical snowfall experience that brings all those viral snow-in-KL edits to real life. As part of the mall’s Golden Noël festivities, the snow event lets you marvel at “snowflakes” sprinkling over the streets of KL with the iconic Petronas Twin Towers as a backdrop.
