50-feet Xmas tree, 7-feet tall Santa spread Christmas cheer in Kolkata's Park Street

Kolkata's Park Street is all geared up to host its famous Christmas festival. On the eve of Chirstmas the whole area is decked up in fairy lights, tuning bulbs, and Christmas-themed lighting. With night restrictions withdrawn from Christmas eve, the area is expected to get a huge rush of visitors.

Besides the decorations, a giant 50-feet-tall Christmas tree has been put up at Apeejay House which is the tallest so far in the city. It is 30 feet in diameter. With a 4-feet star on the top, the tree stands 54-feet tall. The giant Christmas tree was unveiled by State Agriculture Minister Sovhandeb Chatterjee on Thursday. 

Just beside the giant Christmas tree are a 7-feet-tall Santa Clause and a 7-feet-tall fairy. Themed decorations take to the streets, while twinkling LED ornaments sparkle after sundown.

Keeping in view the COVID-19 situation, the organisers have decided not to allow food stalls along the northern pavement. Only three stalls will be allowed inside the Church premises to sell Christmas cakes and goodies.
