Christmas is always a beautiful time in the city of Melbourne. The most livable city dresses up in its finest. Iconic buildings decorated with colourful displays and large Christmas trees & ornaments are peppered around city locations.
Especially in 2020, celebrating the holiday season in Melbourne City means a lot more as The COVID-19 Grinch threatened to steal Christmas. After months of hard work from all Victorians, restrictions eased and the city started to come back to life in time to celebrate this joyous time of the year.
Here is a look at the City of Melbourne all dressed up for Christmas 2020.
The Myer Christmas Windows
The Myer Christmas Windows was initially cancelled, but even a pandemic could not ruin a family tradition spanning years. The display was bought back incorporating the pandemic in its story.
