From Santa’s Dabke Parade to Flying Santa: These Amman Christmas Moments Are Going Viral

If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, then you already know: Amman is absolutely owning Christmas this year. From viral videos to magical moments, the city has turned into a full-on winter wonderland.

Let’s start with the biggest moment everyone can’t stop reposting: the tree lighting at Abdali Boulevard. The second that massive Christmas tree lit up, the whole place erupted in cheers… but the real surprise?

A group of Santas breaking into Jordanian Dabke like they were born for the stage. Red suits, white beards, and full-on traditional moves—no one was expecting it, and yet it somehow felt perfectly Jordanian. The energy? Unreal. The video? Viral in seconds.

And just when you thought Abdali couldn’t top that, it did.

Another clip taking over everyone’s feed shows Santa literally flying over Abdali Boulevard in a breathtaking aerial show that felt straight out of a movie. Kids were screaming, adults were filming, and the whole moment had this magical “did that really just happen?” vibe.

Whether you were there in person or you experienced it through your phone, one thing is clear: the vibes in Amman this Christmas are unmatched. The city feels brighter, happier, more festive and honestly, a little more magical.
