Christmas arrives very early on these two busiest shopping streets in Hanoi. From these days onwards, many young people come here to shop for Christmas decorations or take beautiful photos as souvenirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every year, on Christmas Eve, you have to arrive very early to get a spot here because by dusk, it’s already packed with people. As the center of Catholic activities in Hanoi and surrounding areas, Hanoi Cathedral is always the most beautifully decorated place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Large, elaborately decorated pine trees have been erected on the main facade, and the nativity scene behind the church is brightly lit, making the place more enchanting than ever. Some young people say that once you’ve wandered into this “maze,” you’re stuck because it’s so crowded that it’s difficult to get out. After a fun Christmas Eve, you can enjoy delicious food in nearby streets such as Au Trieu Street, Ly Quoc Su Street, Nha Tho Street, Nha Chung Street, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ham Long Church, with its two facades facing Ham Long and Ngo Thi Nham streets, is considered one of the most beautiful churches in Hanoi. The crowds flocking to Ham Long Church or the moment a young couple celebrates Christmas right outside the church gate with romantic candles arranged around their feet are familiar images for Hanoi residents every Christmas season. With its beautiful architecture and lavish, meticulous, and elaborate decorations, Ham Long Church is always an interesting destination for young people during the Christmas season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoan Kiem Lake, already beautiful, becomes even more dazzling and magical on Christmas night as the entire space is decorated with sparkling lights. You can feel the Christmas atmosphere in a small corner of the “Old Quarter caf\u00e9” on Hang Gai Street, admire Hoan Kiem Lake from above, and order a delicious, hot egg coffee, a unique and signature drink of Hanoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cua Bac Church (56 Phan Dinh Phung, Ba Dinh District), Thinh Liet Church (Giap Bat Alley), Phung Khoang Church (Thanh Xuan District), Sainte Marie Church (37 Hai Ba Trung), Hang Bot Church (162 Ton Duc Thang), Nam Dong Church (178 Nguyen Luong Bang)… are also ideal destinations for the upcoming Christmas season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While Hanoi may not have the bustling Catholic neighborhoods of Ho Chi Minh City, for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":70,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-am-thuc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=69"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71,"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions\/71"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/70"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=69"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=69"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=69"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cuisinehanoitoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/nha-tho-cua-bac.jpg\")
