Me Café on Phan Van Tri Street is putting the finishing touches on its Christmas decorations, themed around a "lollipop house."
Despite the ongoing preparations, the café has already become a popular photo spot for young people celebrating Christmas early.

Tran The Hien, the café's owner, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) that this year's decorations feature nearly 200 oversized lollipops of various sizes, with the largest measuring two meters long.
The colorful lollipops are displayed across the café's frontage and outdoor areas, alongside nearly 1,000 meters of LED lights that illuminate the space after dark.
Last year, the café featured gift boxes, teddy bears, and Santa Claus figures.
This year, Hien opted for a lollipop-themed setting to give visitors a fresh experience and more photo opportunities.

The decorations are expected to be completed by the middle of next week, with additional illuminated lollipops to be installed around the café.
Inside, teddy bear displays will remain, while new Christmas-themed banquet settings will provide more photo spots.
A 12-meter-tall Christmas tree and festive installations have also been set up outside.
The LED lights are switched on daily from around 5:00 pm until 5:00 am the following morning.
"Every year, we invest in new decorations to create a Christmas atmosphere and offer customers fresh experiences," Hien said.
The festive setting has already boosted business, with customer numbers rising by approximately 30-40 percent, according to the owner.
The café is busiest between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm, particularly on weekends.
Open 24 hours a day, it attracts not only local visitors but also some foreign tourists who stop by after exploring Bui Vien Walking Street.
With its giant lollipops, colorful lights, and towering Christmas tree, the café is becoming a popular destination for early holiday photos in Ho Chi Minh City.
