Moscow's Russian Winter Festival coincides with other Winter Festivals across Russia, but due to its popularity and the city's resources, the Moscow version of the Russian Winter Festival is a huge event, running from mid-December to mid-January. This festival takes advantage of Russian Christmas, Russian New Year, and Svyatki or Russian Christmastide celebrations and traditions customarily observed during the winter holidays. This festival celebrating Russian culture is one of the best ways to enjoy Moscow if you travel there during this time.
