18 CHRISTMASWORLD EXPANDS ITS OFFERING WITH SEASONAL GIFTS & TOYS From 29th January to 2nd February 2027, Christmasworld will once again transform Frankfurt into the international meeting place for seasonal and festive decorations. Leading brands have already confirmed their participation, including Boltze, Decostar, DPI, Goodwill, Graziani, Inge’s Christmas Decor, Märklin and The Prime Decor. Kögler, Logumkloster and Mascagni will be exhibiting at Christmasworld for the first time or returning to the fair. With its globally unique product offering, Christmasworld presents the latest products for every celebration and festive occasion throughout the year. The spectrum ranges from Christmas & Seasonal Decoration, Florists’ Requisites & Garden Decorations, Candles, Ribbons & Wrapping, Party & Festive Items and Visual Merchandising & Light to the new Seasonal Gifts & Toys product area. “Celebrations and special occasions remain important drivers of consumer spending, even in a persistently challenging economic environment. With the new Seasonal Gifts & Toys product area, we are opening up new product categories and creating additional business opportunities for retailers,” says Stefan Schopp, Director Christmasworld. In 2027, Christmasworld is expanding its offering with the new Seasonal Gifts & Toys product group. Located in Hall 4.1, the new range will bring together classic and seasonal gifts, full product ranges, souvenirs and toys for Christmas, Easter and other occasions throughout the year. Suppliers of these product ranges, previously represented at Ambiente, will now exhibit at Christmasworld for the first time. New exhibitors including Depesche, Out of the Blue and Ty will strengthen the profile of the product group. The integration reinforces Christmasworld’s position as a leading ordering platform for seasonal product ranges and, together with the directly adjacent product areas, further strengthens its position as a leading international marketplace for gifts.

Originally scheduled for 13th to 15th October 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre, the event will now take place from 28th to 30th September 2027. The decision follows extensive discussions with the industry and careful assessment of the challenges currently facing the paper and stationery industry, including constraints around production lead times and issues across freight and logistics. Teresa Heitor, Portfolio Director, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: “We fully recognise the significance of this decision, as Paperworld Middle East plays an important role in bringing the paper and stationery industry together, and we are responsible for ensuring it does so under conditions that enable our exhibitors, partners, and visitors to achieve meaningful results. “After listening to our customers and industry partners, we believe postponing the event is the right decision. Our focus now turns to Paperworld Middle East 2027 and ensuring we provide the strongest possible platform for regional and international participation, sourcing, distribution and longterm commercial partnerships. We remain fully committed to the show and to the businesses and partners that have supported its development over the past 15 editions.” Messe Frankfurt Middle East looks forward to welcoming the industry to Paperworld Middle East in 2027, while continuing to bring the global community together at Beautyworld Dubai and Automechanika Dubai later this year, and at Intersec Global in early 2027.
