Brightly decorated wooden huts sell Czech handicrafts such as puppets, candles, wooden toys and jewelry, alongside traditional food and drinks. In Old Town Square, local and international choirs and musical ensembles sing Christmas songs, and a wooden stable recreates the Bethlehem manger scene with live animals. Other festive attractions include an open-air ice rink and the enormous Christmas tree ablaze with colorful lights.
