Although Christmas is not a public holiday in
Vietnam, it has been received much recognition from the local residents. From
the beginning of December, Hanoi’s streets are all decorated with Noel’s
patterns that create a festive environment helping any expats off being
homesick in the night of Christmas. Hanoi’s weather also supports the day which
is often cold and dry; the only missing factor for a perfect Noel is snow.
Integrating with Hanoi’s festive environment, you
can totally have fun for this Christmas if you are in Hanoi. Here are our
suggestions to the best place to go for Christmas in the capital city:

Located in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, Hang Ma
Street always catches up with the trend by selling ornaments in special events
like International Children’s Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year Eve, Tet
Holiday and Christmas. Anything you need to decorate your Christmas tree as
well as gifts and greeting cards can easily be found here with low prices.
Making full use of your trip to walk around Hanoi’s
Old Quarter should be a good idea since it may remind you of your hometown with
Christmas Trees being put up in front of restaurants; snowmen made from cotton
near Ice-cream shops or numbers of Santa and his reindeers on sides of clothe
stores. It’s not weird if you see one or two Santa driving motorbike instead of
the reindeers on streets because they are actually gifts delivers.
