Shop
Decorate your home with budget-friendly buys that include fairy lights, glittery stockings, and more. A trip to Crawford Market will land you good deals on plastic Christmas trees. Also, look out for LED baubles and wholesale packets of candy canes for your tree. Hill Road in Bandra (W) also has several good options if you are looking for traditional Christmas decorations. Also pick up funky Santa caps with plaits and springs.
In the mood to relive what it means to feel like its Christmas? Then, head to the gullies and bylanes of Khotachiwadi, Dhobi Talao and its surroundings, IC Colony (Borivli), Orlem in Malad (W) as well as Chium, Chimbai and Chapel Road in Bandra.
