The Ivanovo region has many kinds of traditional folk arts and crafts: lacquer miniatures, artistic painting, stitch embroidery, weaving, fabric knotting, pottery, and vine weaving.

Some of them are represented on the New Year tree in a stylized way. Ivanovo is called the chintz capital of Russia. Imitation of traditional Shuya chintz became the focus of the New Year decor.

There was also a place for stylized images of fairy-tale scenes of Palekh and Kholui lacquer miniatures, which originate in the traditions of icon painting. A bright accent was the Shuya accordion - harmonicas, accordions and button accordions are produced in the town of Shuya, Ivanovo region.
