These Christmas trees and decorations in Bengaluru are a must-see this season

The Collection, UB City
The luxury mall in the heart of the city has done something special this year. They have installed a 35-feet Christmas tree in the piazza, with the UB Towers as the backdrop. Plus, there is also a chair placed next to it for people to sit and click pictures. For those who like to get more creative, the LED angel wings suspended from the ceiling in the foyer provide an interesting spot for selfies. In addition, the life-size gingerbread house and the huge bells at the entrance give you a magical feeling. At Vittal Mallya Road

Sheraton Grand Bangalore Hotel At Brigade Gateway
The gingerbread house at this hotel cannot be missed. The 12-feet high house, weighs 1,000 kgs. Walk inside the house and pick a goodie bag or just sit and pose in the reindeer sleigh that’s placed outside. At Rajajinagar

ITC Gardenia
If you want to celebrate the season while being environment-friendly, head to this hotel that is sticking to its philosophy of Responsible Luxury by setting up a tree with eco-friendly material. The 16-feet tree and other decorations are crafted with jute, dry tree roots, poinsettia leaves, pinecones and discarded plywood. In addition, the wishing tree just outside the chocolate boutique, Fabelle, has been set up for not just selfies, but also to leave a celebratory message. At Residency Road

Embassy GolfLinks
Ever wondered what a 20-feet Christmas tree made with teddy bears would look like? To see one, head to the Embassy Group and Hilton Bangalore Embassy GolfLinks foyer. About 559 teddy bears have been used to design this tree. The most interesting thing about it is that, anyone can buy one of these teddy bears for Rs 699 plus taxes. The funds raised will be contributed to Parikrma Humanity Foundation that works with children from economically weaker sections of society. So while you click a selfie, put a smile on the face of a child. Off Intermediate Ring Road

Phoenix MarketCity
The mall keeps up the tradition of setting up the tallest tree in the city. This time, it is a 75-feet tree with a base that’s designed like a merry-go-round. The green and gold tree makes for a magnificent backdrop and the European-themed market around it offers more selfie points. At Whitefield

Shangri-La Hotel
The 26-feet Christmas tree at Shangri-La Hotel comes with a message. The white-and-green-themed tree has little notes that you should read before clicking a selfie. The notes are 55 wishes from the children of Angel’s Orphanage Bangalore, requesting for toys. So if you are at the hotel, click a selfie and fulfill a wish at this tree. At Palace Road

The LaLit
The Christmas tree at Lalit is a special mutli-colour one. The hotel that practises inclusivity and diversity, has put up a Rainbow Christmas tree sending out a strong message. Each colour has a significance and the tree is a symbol of the message, 'spreading pure love to all.' At Kumara Park
