Despite the weather still not feeling particularly wintery (or even autumnal), the very next day after Halloween in Hong Kong means pumpkins and bats are out and Santas and reindeers are in. Yes, Hong Kong has officially entered the holiday season and it's already hard to escape the Christmas songs (cue Mariah) and excessive decorations. There are lots of events and festive markets in the line up to enjoy this year, so even if you're the scroogiest of scrooges, there's something for everyone to get excited about.
