The central venues of the Moscow Seasons will be transformed into the backdrop of a captivating winter fairytale. Tall fir trees, adorned with painted ornaments and miniatures of Moscow landmarks, will sparkle on Tverskaya and Manezhnaya Squares. Brightly colored souvenir pavilions will open their doors to guests, and hundreds of garlands of lights will sparkle. This year, the decor is dedicated to the capital: its architecture, history, traditions, and people.
On Manezhnaya Square, you can admire New Year's baubles painted based on designs by Moscow artists. And the facades of the pavilions on Tverskaya Square will be framed by illuminated structures reminiscent of the contours of the capital's ancient streets.
The project's events will take place in this enchanting atmosphere. Winter in MoscowThe whole family can have a warm time there from December 1st to February 28th.
See the capital's brightest spruce tree
The centerpiece of the festive display on Tverskaya Square will be one of the capital's most original Christmas trees. Craftsmen have created it from miniature replicas of iconic Moscow buildings. According to the creators, the eight-meter-tall tree symbolizes a city where past and present intertwine in festive ornamentation. Its branches juxtapose the Bolshoi Theater, the Moscow City Hall building, Stalinist skyscrapers, VDNKh pavilions, 19th-century mansions, and, of course, the Kremlin towers. The appearance of each building has been recreated down to the last detail, and its miniature windows glow with a soft, warm light.
Work on the festive decorations for the tree lasted six months. Craftsmen meticulously crafted every element to maintain the precision of the miniatures. The tree's frame was also meticulously designed. Hundreds of small fir trees and rowan branches will be installed at its base. They will be draped in red-gold velvet curtains and decorated with bullfinch figurines, as if they had flown straight out of a 19th-century Christmas card.
Touch the traditions
Just nearby, on Manezhnaya Square, another New Year's beauty will shine—a natural 22-meter spruce, second in height only to the Kremlin's. Its decoration is inspired by antique Russian toys. Hundreds of painted baubles were created based on exclusive sketches by Moscow artists. According to their vision, the tree is intended to be a touching illustration of childhood, where miracles were a natural part of life.
The baubles are decorated with scenes from Christmas stories, fairy tales, and festive festivities. They are accented with silk flags, long gold and silver icicles, cotton wool figures, and rosy-cheeked dolls in elegant costumes.
In total, over 10,000 ornaments and five kilometers of strings of lights will be used to decorate the tree. Professional tree climbers will help install them.
