An ENORMOUS Snow Globe Has Taken Over Dublin’s O’Connell Street

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

First of all, it was announced that the John Lewis Christmas ad is on the way (pause for excited dance around the office) and now, Dublin is starting to become a bit of a winter wonderland.

O’Connell Street is now officially home to a pretty huge snow globe as the start of the city’s Christmas celebrations kicked off on Thursday morning.

A choir was on hand to sing everyone into the festive spirit, while there were also elves, a tree and the six metre snow globe.

The choir has the BEST job today at the official launch of events for Dublin at Christmas
