The twinkling lights, holiday stalls, and traditional Russian food and drinks create a warm, welcoming environment despite the chilly air. For families, there are plenty of activities like ice slides and playgrounds for children, while performances by actors and dancers add to the celebration. Whether you're ice skating on the rink or simply admiring the surroundings, Red Square in winter offers a captivating glimpse into Moscow's charm and festive spirit.

Manezhnaya Square Christmas Market is one of Moscow's most popular and festive attractions during the holiday season, especially right next to the iconic Red Square. This market offers a magical atmosphere that embodies the joy and charm of a Russian New Year celebration.
