This year's second 3D laser projection show, "Circus Magic Props Edition," centers on the story of LINE FRIENDS at the Circus Carnival. On their way to the carnival in full costume, the characters are unexpectedly swept into a magical space, instantly losing their transformed appearances. To reach the carnival successfully, they must retrieve their lost magic wand and awaken their circus charm. The show incorporates multi-layered large-scale scenes, including the Hat Forest, Gear Square, and the Misaligned Corridor, adding vivid depth to the storyline. The "Fun Circus Tent" Christmas Tree shines in sync with the projection, creating a full-surround dynamic effect that immerses the audience in a magical adventure of light and shadow.

From now until Dec. 28, 2025, every night from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., the two spectacular 3D laser projection shows – "Circus Magic Props Edition" and "Christmas Symphony: LINE FRIENDS Celebrate with You!" – will alternate, transforming New Taipei City Plaza into a fantastical world of light and shadow, perfect for experiencing the brightest Christmas nights.
