Shinsegae, Lotte Department Store & Co., Myeongdong
During Christmas time, the whole area of Myeongdong is coated in twinkling lights. The two main department stores, Shinsegae and Lotte, compete over who has the most extravagant Christmas set-up – and they love to outdo each other year after year.
This year, it’s hard to choose a winner as both have decorated their storefronts absolutely beautifully.

COEX Starfield Library, Gangnam
Every year, Starfield Library located in the center of COEX Mall features beautiful holiday decorations. From a large Christmas tree made of 14,000 books to a tree with a polar bear family that looks like they are straight out of a fairy tale, the Starfield Library at COEX Mall celebrates every Christmas season with a variety of trees.
This year, the public library is decorated with an 11.6m-high ‘Snow Pavilion’, consisting of 900 individual snowflakes. Just like the snowflakes gathered together to create a huge tree, the people should come together to create the power to overcome this year’s hardships.

Lotte World Mall, Jamsil
Lotte World Mall in Jamsil is another great place to check out Christmas decorations. This year, they have truly outdone themselves by setting up four cozy Christmas cabins just outside the mall area. The cabins are sponsored by brands like Muji, H&M Home, and the car make Mini.
