The Christmas Ball of Monaco Celebrates 20 Years

Monaco is preparing to sparkle brighter than ever as the Christmas Ball, founded and orchestrated by Sandrine Knoell, celebrates its 20th anniversary-a milestone that crowns two decades of elegance, generosity, and Monaco-style festive magic.
What began as a small gathering of loyal supporters has grown into one of the most anticipated social events of the Principality, drawing an international community of distinguished guests, philanthropists, and lovers of enchantment. Over the years, Sandrine Knoell has shaped the Ball into a refined celebration where tradition, artistry, and heart meet under the holiday chandeliers of the Riviera.
This year's edition-taking place on the 12th of December at the Hôtel de Paris-promises to be exceptional. Sandrine has curated an evening filled with special surprises designed to transport guests into a world of Christmas wonder, where glamour dances with the warm spirit of generosity.

At the heart of the Christmas Ball lies a mission: the charity auction benefitting the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation. This fundraising moment has become a signature highlight of the evening, gathering remarkable items and unforgettable experiences that guests can bid on while contributing to a meaningful cause. The Foundation's initiatives-supporting children's safety, education, and well-being-resonate deeply with the event's spirit of giving.

With each edition, Sandrine Knoell has woven a tapestry of elegance, solidarity, and festive joy that now stands as an emblematic moment of Monaco's winter season.
