70 lucky fans who took part in an exclusive competition were able to attend the unveiling.

Collectors' hearts beat faster
The online auction was launched at the same time as the new themed area and is now available for a two weeks. Four unique objects of famous personalities, which are already on display as wax figures, are up for bid and have been donated to a good cause. Among other things, 1x2 concert tickets including meet & greet for the Andreas Gabalier concert in Kitzbühel 2025 can be bid on, Dominic Thiem fans have the last chance to get their hands on a signed tennis outfit and Christina Stürmer is donating a signed MTV Unplugged fan box.
All proceeds will go to the in-house charity organisation ‘Merlin's Magic Wand’, which supports mentally and physically disadvantaged children worldwide

The Christmas Star Festival marks the festive conclusion of the eventful festival year, which can be experienced until 6 January 2025.
