Experiencing Christmas in UK is ‘heavenly’. Those international students who are in their sophomore couldn’t agree more but if you are in freshman year, you will soon witness the bright and cheerful vibe of Christmas in the UK. 

If you are still planning to study abroad, do read till the end to see how the English start preparing for Christmas nearly a month before. Yes, Christmas preparations in UK have already begun and bet you, the markets, local businesses and young kids are going to make you feel euphoric with Diwali celebrations back home. 

Christmas Preparations in the UK and What ‘You’ Can Do

The foremost thing is the Christmas markets in UK. You cannot miss out on hopping from one market to the next either windowshopping, vibing with the locals or buying presents and Christmas decorations. You can choose the market which is closest to your accommodation. 

However, it would be great if you could go to one of the five main markets for Christmas, which include; the Winter Wonderland Market in England, Bath’s Annual Christmas Market, The Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, Manchester’s Holiday Markets and Edinburgh Holiday Markets.

These are not ‘overhyped’ markets instead a bit overpriced is what you can call them. But do not hesitate to use your bargaining skills. Nonetheless, the Christmas food is also on the roll from early in the month. You can try Turkey Wellington, Cranberry sauce, Brussels sprouts, Roast potatoes, Roasted Chicken, Pig in a Blanket, Braised Red Cabbage and Roast carrots. 

If you are more fond of the desert, there is lots of chocolate, Christmas cake, mince pies, trifles and yuletide pudding too. Moreover, in Kingston, a Christmas shopping trail has been set up by independent businesses. The best thing about this market is that you can find authentic British products. 

If you are interested in charity and social work you can donate goods and Christmas gifts at Baby Banks. Why baby banks? The Princess of Wales has helped start a Christmas campaign to help poor families with babies by promoting their education. 

You can also be a bit childish yourself and go watch the Pantomimes at the Auditori Teulada Moraira. Hurry up though, it is only open till the 15th of December. Lastly, brace yourselves if you are travelling to UK for the January intake by British Airways. 

The airline is offering Christmas dinners, yule logs and Brussels sprouts. Moreover, a warm greeting with winter wonderland at Heathrow Airport is also waiting for you. Decorating the airport and serving themed meals is also a part of this grand celebration. However, for details of the same you must visit the official website of British Airlines. 

With that, we conclude the description of how UK is preparing for Christmas this year. You must head out and enjoy your holiday season before missing out on anything. Lastly, if you want to read more such exciting information, make sure you follow Leverage Edu News Updates.
