Although Christmas is still over three weeks away, the festive buzz has already taken over Ho Chi Minh City, where shopping malls, churches, and cafés are decked out with festive decorations, becoming favorite spots for locals and tourists to snap holiday photos.

This year’s celebrations are particularly lively as several locations offer their patrons a snowy Christmas, using artificial snow spraying systems.

The southern hub’s cool and pleasant weather has enhanced the festive experience, drawing families and their children to take photos and revel in the fun of playing in the faux snow.

One highlight is a zone called ‘Gau Tuyet’ (Snowy Bear) in District 6, which has become a hit with young visitors.

Aside from featuring snow effects, the venue boasts a grand photo zone, exuding a vibrant Christmas vibe.

Khanh Nhi, a resident of District 4, shared her excitement of experiencing the early festive cheer at the Snowy Bear area with her younger siblings after she learned about this location on social media.

Nguyen Minh Tuan, dressed as Santa Claus and selling holiday souvenirs at Diamond Plaza in District 1, shared that the mall had put up its decorations earlier this year.

In response, he decided to come every evening to sell toys and photo props for children.

The Christmas spirit has also swept through other major business streets in the city, particularly Hai Thuong Lan Ong in District 5, which has transformed into a Christmas wonderland. 

This vibrant street is lined with shops offering a dazzling array of decorations, like sparkling Christmas baubles, cheerful Santa Claus, playful snowmen, and glittering Christmas trees of all sizes.

Shopkeepers created captivating displays with carefully arranged ornaments, drawing the attention of passers-by.

Visitors of all ages stop to browse the offerings, take photos, and purchase their favorite decorations to prepare their homes for Christmas.
