A highlight this year is the 96 new light decorations depicting Christmas symbols suspended above the roads. It is hoped the strings of lights along traffic routes together with the architectural illuminations will evoke a festive spirit among all Muscovites and visitors to the capital for the entire New Year holiday period.

Glass bus shelters on Moscow's streets have been decorated with New Year figures depicting characters from fairy tales. The whole family can get their picture taken with them.
A huge open-air ice rink, over 3,000 sq m in size, has opened in Red Square. This is already the sixth time that Muscovites and visitors to the capital have been able to enjoy this outdoor skating rink.
The ice rink, which is decorated with festive lights and has an outdoor skating surface designed by an Austrian company, promises to be the best in Moscow. The skating rink will be open from December 1 to March 15, 2012.
