Conventional fairy lights are a passe — Christmas decor in Kolkata is more personal and intricate this year. Think snowman lanterns, globe baubles and more.
At New Market Christmas bazar, the lighting stall in front of Simpark Mall is packed with glowing decor pieces in every size and shape. Whether you want warm, subtle lighting or fun, colourful pieces, there is something for every home. Here is a closer look at what is new this season and why these picks stand out.
Mini trees with twinkling lights
The mini tabletop Christmas tree is one of the most convenient decorations you can buy this year. With snow-tipped branches and warm LED fairy lights wrapped neatly around the structure, it adds a festive touch without taking up much space. It is perfect for desks, coffee tables, office cubicles or small apartments where a full-sized tree might not fit. Since it is battery-powered and lightweight, it can be moved around easily.
