Distinguishing itself from traditional European-inspired Christmas markets, "Secret Christmas Station" focuses on locally produced goods crafted by neighborhood designers and artisans. The event features a diverse range of items, including furniture, stationery, food, interior items, and fashion garments from 90 different brands.

The second floor of Culture Station Seoul 284 offers programs for children, including musical performances and photo opportunities with Santa. Scheduled events include a storytelling performance with picture books at 11 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, a Christmas-themed jazz performance at 2 p.m. on Saturday, and Santa's visit on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., accompanied by a parade.

"Secret Christmas Station" is open to the public and free of charge, providing an opportunity for visitors to explore and support local craftsmanship during the festive season.
