WEATHER warnings may have threatened to pour cold water on the launch of Northern Ireland’s biggest holiday fair, but nothing could dampen the excitement as the annual Holiday World Show announced its return to Belfast in January with a new title sponsor on board and, for the first time, a new venue in the heart of the city centre.
