It’s almost Christmas Day, and shopping malls have already decorated their interior with shiny and bright festive decorations. Of course, seeing a brightly lit Christmas tree in a mall can be magical – but how would you react if you saw this “Christmas car” on the streets of Kuala Lumpur?
Several local news outlets have recently reported about a peculiar car driving around Kuala Lumpur. According to reports, the woman who first shared about this eye-catching car saw it while having dinner at a Korean restaurant in Cheras. The colourful vehicle in question was a Sedan completely covered in Christmas lights, which lit up the streets as it drove around town.

The post on Xiaohongshu went viral, with many praising the creativity of the car owner. Many have said they’ve never seen a car decorated in such a way and hoped they could see it in person. After snooping around, we discovered the Christmas car belonged to Terrence Lim, a car enthusiast in Cheras.
Terrence also posted a behind-the-scenes video about the car through his Instagram account. According to the video, Terrence was inspired by another car enthusiast who was the first to wrap their ride in Christmas lights. He recreated the idea using his Volkswagen Jetta, spending almost a whole day attaching the lights to his car, ensuring that the vehicle and the lights would still be functional.
It does seem that Terrence is very proud of his work, as he’s been sharing about his Christmas car all over his social media pages. He even urged anyone who spots his car in public to give a honk of acknowledgement. Not only that, but news outlets have also reported that after receiving requests from netizens, Terrence generously drove his Christmas car to several locations, including Taman Connaught and TAR University Of Management and Technology.
Thank you for spreading the Christmas cheer around town, Terrence! If you happen to see the Christmas car around the neighbourhood, don’t forget to give it a honk!
