An essential part of this observance is the carol services, often initiated by various churches. The joyous celebration is also marked by preparing and sharing festive meals and giving gifts to loved ones. Christmas has been celebrated in Nigeria since British missionaries introduced the Christian faith in the 19th century. Over time, the holiday has blended with Nigeria's rich cultural disposition, adding unique vibrancy and diversity to its celebration. In areas like Calabar, the build-up to Christmas begins as early as the first week of December with the colourful Calabar Carnival, which showcases Nigeria's cultural heritage interspersed with modern entertainment.
