Welcome to Winter Wonderland! Fresh footage shows punches thrown, revellers hurled to floor and women screaming as Christmas attraction explodes into violence
New footage shows two rival groups fighting at the entrance to Winter Wonderland in even more shocking scenes.
The clip shows punches being thrown, trash cans being knocked over and women shouting “stop” just outside the event held in London’s Hyde Park on December 23.
The conflict began despite several security guards wearing high-visibility jackets trying to prevent the conflict.
Several men get into a fight, and the clip also shows security guards pushing revelers to the ground.
As the incident continued, police were called and officers pulled out their stun guns.
Many guests appear to have swerved to escape the chaos. Other screams included: ‘Please, no more drama.’
At the end of the video, the man who recorded the video wearing a cowboy hat said: ‘Welcome to Winter Wonderland.
‘It happens every year, people get drunk, they can’t stand the drink and that’s what happens, look.’

New footage shows security trying to intervene as two rival groups fight at London tourist attraction
It can be seen that the security tried to intervene after several men got into a fight and the revelers were pushed to the ground.
In the video, young people are seen fighting with punches, kicks and slaps. At least one person was kicked in the head.
One viewer said: ‘It was a night of pure chaos. People go there to have a peaceful family night of Christmas fun.
‘But some people go wild and destroy it. Drinking played a big role and he started again.
‘I will never go again. It’s not worth it.”
The police were called to the incident; a police officer pulled out a stun gun, and a teenager put his hands over his head as the situation developed.
There was another violent fight involving a group earlier this week.
The previous week, there was another fight in which a woman was punched unconscious.
Winter Wonderland has been criticized for being overcrowded and overpriced, and has been named the most complained about festival venue in Europe.
‘It wouldn’t be Christmas without a fight in Winter Wonderland,’ social media users joked
The annual Christmas event attracted celebrities including Cole Palmer, Louise Redknapp and Kyle Walker this year
More video footage of the same event posted on social media this week showed aggressive youths at the event breaking down barriers, punching and grabbing each other.
The footage shows a group chasing after a child, throwing themselves over metal entrance barriers to reach him.
In his frenzy, the boy fell backwards onto a group of people before being punched to the ground.
A group of three men then corner him and continuously hit him as he tries to escape, while the rest of the gang catches up to them.
People, including young girls, are seen cowering in fear and grabbing each other.
Within minutes, police sirens blared, causing some of the bandits to flee.
Police later arrived to capture the group with stun guns and were heard telling people to ‘go home’.
The video was posted on X, where people sarcastically praised the ‘festive spirit’ of Winter Wonderland.
One user commented: ‘Would it be Christmas without fisticuffs in Winter Wonderland?’
Another added: ‘UFC 2025: Winter Wonderland edition.’
A spokesman for Hyde Park Winter Wonderland said the incident was ‘immediately managed by security on site, with police present’.
‘There was no impact on the overall incident and no serious injuries were reported,’ they added.
