Korea is one of the few countries in Asia where Christmas is celebrated almost as much as it is in the United States. Nowhere is this holiday feeling stronger than in Myeongdong, the heart of Seoul.
In this area, Shinsegae Department Store becomes a special Christmas destination every year. It turns into “Shinsegae Wonderland,” filled with bright lights and cheerful music. The most famous part is a three-minute light show that amazes everyone who watches it.
There are also European-style markets that sell ornaments, gifts, and holiday treats. From November to December, huge crowds gather to shop, take photos, and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
The video below shows the display in all its beauty.
