NEW DELHI: Wrapping up a rather tiring and complicated year that 2020 was, the season of joy and love is finally here with Christmas. While the celebrations are going to be muted with lockdown restrictions still in place across the country, it is nevertheless a good time to enjoy and enliven our spirits. Therefore, brands are also indulging in a number of fun activities, announcing special offers, and running cheerful campaigns to celebrate the holiday season.
