In urban India, sustainable celebrations are at the heart of Christmas and New Year décor for 2025. Families decorate with recycled paper ornaments, upcycled glass jar lanterns, and Christmas trees crafted from reclaimed wood or folded cardboard.
Old sarees or festive fabric scraps become stockings, bunting, and gift wraps. Glass bottles are repurposed into vases and candle holders. DIY wreaths using newspaper, natural twigs, or dried fruit add rustic, earthy beauty. Handmade star lanterns and fairy lights extended across doorways create festive charm with minimal carbon footprint.
Gift exchange traditions focus on upcycled, handmade keepsakes, making each celebration meaningful and eco-friendly. The eco-conscious approach fosters community, creativity, and a greener planet.
