A new year brings fresh energy, renewed motivation and the chance to reset and reimagine what lies ahead. At Mall of the North, January is all about embracing positive change and stepping into the year with confidence and balance.
That’s why we’re kicking off 2026 with our New Year, New You celebration. This is a feel-good event designed to inspire healthier habits, mindful living and a strong start to the year ahead.
Join us for New Year, New You
Taking place on Saturday, 17 January from 9am to 5pm, this wellness-focused activation invites shoppers of all ages to explore practical ways to prioritise their health and wellbeing. You’ll enjoy:
- Fitness pop-ups
- Free blood pressure, sugar tests, and vision screenings
- Skin and beauty analyses
- BMI and weight management advice
- After-school activities and talent discovery for young ones
With the aim of feeling a little better each day, New Year, New You is about progress instead of perfection.
What’s shaping lifestyle and retail in 2026
The biggest trends for 2026 are centred on balance and mindful living. Shoppers want from their purchases that prioritise wellness, comfort, sustainability and adaptability. That means versatile fashion that fits your changing routines, beauty that enhances wellbeing and home décor that supports calm and comfort throughout daily life.
2026 is shaping up to be a year where experiences matter just as much as products, and where simplicity and intention guide how we shop and live.
Pantone’s Colour of the Year is a fresh canvas for 2026
Pantone has named Cloud Dancer as its Colour of the Year for 2026 and is a soft, airy white that evokes serenity and calm as we step into a new chapter. This is the first time Pantone has chosen a shade of white as its defining hue, and it’s meant to reflect a collective desire for peace and reflection in a fast-paced world.
So how can you use this trend in your daily life?
- Fashion: Cloud Dancer works beautifully as a neutral base — think clean white shirts, flowing knitwear, or minimalist sneakers that pair effortlessly with bold colours or muted tones alike.
- Beauty: Incorporate this calming shade through creamy makeup palettes, soft white accents in nail art, or even spa-like skincare routines that echo a sense of tranquillity at home.
- Home: Use Cloud Dancer as a backdrop in décor — fresh linens, light upholstery, or accessories that open up space visually and mentally, creating airy, peaceful environments that support wellbeing.
January is a chance to slow down, reset your rhythm and focus on what truly matters. The best part is Mall of the North is here to support your journey every step of the way. Here’s to a New Year and a New You.
