It’s the most joyous time of the year! Are you in the mood for some festive cheer?

When streets are sprinkled with lights, harmonies of angelic Christmas carols are a central part of the season and a great way to tune up to the Christmas spirit. Adding to a merrier Christmas experience, Daraz, the leading e-commerce platform in Sri Lanka, is travelling across Colombo in a brightly lit, open double-decker bus with a choir singing Christmas Carols, placing smiles on the faces of bystanders in the streets of Colombo.

As a part of its commitment to boost Sri Lanka’s economy while giving back to the community, particularly during this season of festivities and celebration, Daraz Carol Bus will take the streets every weekend evening, singing Christmas tunes, greeting holiday shoppers at various places in the city and sharing gifts from Santa Claus, adding to the magic of the season. The event is particularly expected to help promote tourism in Sri Lanka while stimulating investment and economic development.

Enabling residents and visitors in Colombo, Negombo, Wattala and other suburbs to join in on the Christmas cheer, Daraz Carol Bus will tour the province from 2nd December to 19th December while the carolling group will perform live at One Galle Face mall on selected days. Stay tuned to Daraz for more details and daily updates on the routes.
