Seoul's major department stores are rolling out Christmas decorations nearly two months early, with elaborate displays, themed markets, and luxury brand collaborations. Galleria is featuring a Loro Piana-designed Christmas tree, while Lotte Main Store in Myeong-dong is lighting up with 20,000 bulbs and introducing a new character called Hey Yeti. The early festive push reflects strong public interest in holiday shopping and attractions across the city.
