New Year's gifts and decorations
In the very center of the capital, on the passage from Manezhnaya Square to Revolution Square, a picturesque fair has unfolded, as if straight out of an old postcard. The stalls feature cotton Christmas tree decorations in the style of bygone centuries, textile dolls, and figurines of Father Frost and Snow Maiden. Unique, handcrafted ceramics, porcelain, clay, wood, and brass items are also on sale.
Stalls selling New Year's decorations have opened on Tverskaya Square. Decorative arrangements of cast pine needles and natural Danish fir (nobilis), green wreaths, and tabletop Christmas trees will add a special charm to any space. Beaded balls and exclusive handmade porcelain Christmas tree ornaments will make your holiday tree decor unforgettable and sophisticated, while handmade soaps and designer majolica figurines make excellent gifts.
The Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve offers a selection of unusual souvenirs and decorative items. Marsh creatures, including knitted toads and horses, will add a touch of nature to your home, decorative hot air balloons will add a stylish touch, and Christmas lanterns and houses will create an atmosphere of winter wonderland. Antique books, magazines, postcards, vinyl records, and tableware from yesteryear will evoke nostalgia and add a special touch of coziness to the holidays.
Brigantina Park offers a scattering of natural stone bracelets and beads, as well as amigurumi home decorations. Felted toys, which are in high demand every season, are available on Orekhovy Boulevard and Matveyevskaya Street. They look equally stylish and cozy in a child's room or a study.
For fashionable designer kokoshniks, head to Profsoyuznaya Street. These headdresses remain popular and continue to be a striking part of outfits at celebrations, concerts, and parties.
Those looking for popular New Year's and Christmas decorations, clothing, and accessories in the à la Russe style can find them on Mitinskaya Street. On Sukhonskaya Street, the stalls offer leather souvenirs, plaster boxes for jewelry and small items, as well as candles and diffusers for warmth, comfort, and a pleasant aroma in the home.
Gastronomic rarities
The market stalls on the passage from Manezhnaya Square to Revolution Square attract visitors with traditional meat dishes, such as beef and lamb ribs in a bun with pepper sauce, "Kupechesky" sandwiches with smoked beef brisket, pickled cucumbers, and a spicy honey sauce, and "Boyarsky" sandwiches with boiled pork and ham soaked in honey-mustard sauce and a crispy cucumber. Siberian delicacies add a special charm to the festive cuisine on the capital's central square. Here you can sample a triple fish soup made with muksun, omul, and nelma, a northern version of the "Stolichny" salad with venison, served in a waffle cone, and wash it all down with honey or lingonberry sbiten.
While strolling along the picturesquely decorated Novy Arbat, a glass of the original "Mandarin Sunset" tea drink, with notes of ginger, honey, tangerines, and sea buckthorn, will warm you up.
At Slavy Square, anyone seeking new flavors will be drawn to an innovative approach to fast food. They'll serve 20 types of classic Belgian fries with a crispy crust and soft center, as well as a UFO burger, round like a flying saucer, with a juicy patty and signature sauces.
On Sukhonskaya Street, you can get into the New Year's spirit with the "Prazdnichnaya" appetizer—a small envelope filled with stewed pork and fresh vegetables—as well as unusual drinks: "Novogodniy" cappuccino with the delicate flavor of pine nuts and the aroma of pine, and "Rozhdestvenskoye" cocoa with whipped cream and cinnamon.
For desserts, head to Khachaturyan Street, where you can enjoy sweet Christmas apples coated in a clear caramel glaze with a delicate raspberry flavor and decorated with colorful dragees and marmalade. Also on this street, visitors can enjoy aromatic fermented Ivan-tea, served with natural buckwheat honey and fresh mint.
Bustling fairs and shopping arcades will be open throughout the season, offering visitors to the "Winter in Moscow" venues the opportunity to enjoy New Year's shopping, refresh and decorate their interiors, dine deliciously in the fresh air, and purchase pleasant gifts for family and friends.
