In addition to the big campaign on social networks, Aurorama already had time to decorate the three branches, and adapt them to the magical holiday atmosphere - fir trees were placed on all sides, special lighting was hung, huge Santa dolls are waiting for customers and it seems that is not all;

The Greek island of Mykonos is considered one of the most prestigious islands in the world.
Some of the most luxurious hotels are located on its territory, on every corner you can find prestigious designer stores and a large part of the most glittering celebrity parties are held there.
But besides luxury stores and breathtaking hotels, the food chains on the island also exude luxury.
Such is the Flora chain - an extraordinary food chain, whose visit to one of its branches is much more than an ordinary shopping experience.
In the chain's branches scattered on the island, apart from luxury premium products that cannot be found elsewhere, they usually change the design once every few months, as they did in the last few days in preparation for the Christmas celebrations.
Spectacular decorations were hung in the three branches on the island - from luxurious chandeliers, through huge fir trees to giant Santa Claus dolls.
In the coming weeks and until Christmas, starting in the evening, the branches of the Flora chain will become a real party: a local DJ (dressed in Santa clothes, of course) will play in each of the branches while festive cocktails are served to customers.

Most of the food chains in the United States celebrate Christmas, of course, but with all due respect, Macy's, the popular American chain of stores that was founded back in 1858, took the issue a few steps further, and starting in November, the entire eighth floor of the famous branch in Herald Square in New York will change its face and become a kind of wonderland, full of twinkling lights, festive games, sledding, special workshops, exhibitions and more, alongside worthwhile promotions.
At Macy's, they also thought about those who could not come to visit Santa in person and launched a special website - Santaland at Home - an interactive celebration for children, which includes fun games (like a snowball fight), funny videos, recipes, various instructional videos and even a virtual and especially lovable Santa Claus .
