Grab a drink to warm up in the café, wander through the shop if you're eager to pick up exclusive pieces, relive the iconic moments of the show in the viewing lounge, snap photos in front of the famous red phone, and admire the Hall of Fame, where you'll recognize the show's most legendary past winners. At the heart of the studio, show off your best dance moves and perform the season’s anthem with an exclusive tutorial by Jonathan Jenvrin!

Over four days, enjoy interactive activities including exclusive classes alongside the professors of Star Academy, a Christmas decoration customization workshop or banner-making session to cheer on the students. There's also a pajama party with former contestants, watch parties of daily updates and the live show, as well as a special karaoke dedicated to Star Academy hits. It’s also a perfect opportunity to write letters to the students and show your support!

These free activities will require online registration, subject to availability, although the registration link has not yet been shared.
