In pictures: New Market turns into a one-stop-shop for Christmas goodies and shoppers

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and it’s time you decked up your halls too. And all you need is at New Market. The stalls selling Christmas decorations are set up and stocked well to make your house festive. For years, the stalls were at Hogg Market. But, for the last few years, the vendors have been moved to a space behind the market near Simpark Mall on Lindsay Street

From the trendiest Christmas tree to Santa Claus costumes — you’ll get them all here, and that too, at a great deal. As we count down the days to December 25, My Kolkata went on a little window shopping spree. Check out what we found

What’s Christmas without a tree? You don’t have to settle for a basic one because New Market has a variety of trees. Not just different heights, some trees even come with pre-attached ornaments. There are trees in various shades of green, and also white! Price vary from Rs 500 to 2,000 (depending on the size)

Besides the usual Christmas ornaments, there are some cute new ones, too. My Kolkata loved the tiny houses and silver bauble ornaments. The mini Santa baubles were also too adorable to ignore! The price range begins from Rs 50 for a single piece
