Have you ever wondered what it would be like to celebrate Christmas in different corners of the world? It’s not just about lights and decorations, but about immersing yourself in the unique magic that each location brings to this holiday season. Join me on this tour of some destinations where Christmas dresses in its best clothes, leaving everyone wrapped in a magical and festive atmosphere.
The largest Christmas tree in the world
New York is considered the city that never sleeps, much less during the holidays. The streets of Manhattan are transformed into an urban fairy tale, with the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center illuminating the city. There’s no place like Fifth Avenue to feel the festive energy, with its dazzling storefronts and gently falling snow as you stroll.
Christmas in summer
Sydney, Australia, where Christmas is celebrated under the warm summer sun. Although it may seem strange to those accustomed to winter festivities, Sydney Harbor lights up with fireworks display over the iconic Sydney Opera House. In this same place you can enjoy endless outdoor concerts, from carols, local groups, professional choirs, children, and even celebrities, you only need a blanket to lie down on and something to snack on. The beaches fill with families enjoying barbecues and picnics, creating a unique and relaxed Christmas.
A Kawaii Christmas
In Tokyo, Japan, the city is filled with bright lights and “kawaii” decorations, creating a charming fusion between traditional and modern. Shopping malls like Shibuya 109 dazzle with their extravagant displays, Caretta Shiodome will wow you with a light show and a spectacular fully illuminated blue forest, while historic temples are dressed in elegant and serene decorations. Don’t forget to go with someone, since Christmas in Tokyo is experienced as a couple.
Christmas at 30º
In Cape Town, South Africa, you’ll find that the holiday season coincides with summer, and people celebrate outdoors with beach barbecues and concerts in public parks. Colorful Christmas lights illuminate the streets as the festive spirit mixes with the city’s rich cultural diversity. Enjoy cultural events such as traditional dance performances, ethnic music, parades with decorated floats, festive music, dancing and much more.
The diversity of celebrations and traditions reminds us that, despite our differences, we all share the desire to celebrate this season with love, joy and hope. Happy Holidays!
