Such religious tolerance in Saudi Arabia reflects both the pace and scope of social change, according to an Arab News survey.
There are also Christmas trees in the capital Riyadh, snowmen in Jeddah markets and models of Santa Claus in Al Khobar.
The expatriates here consider Saudi Arabia their home and choose to live here, which is why moderation efforts have created an environment that is welcoming to other faiths and traditions.
This change has also allowed local market shops and e-commerce platforms to sell a wide range of festival-related products to their customers.
According to a report by Arab News, Wajdan Al-Khattabi, a Saudi marketing professional who works at Napco National in Jeddah, said, "I work in a place where 70 percent of the employees are Christians and this year Christmas items are selling well and they is in high demand.

Earlier, the Christians living here did not have the products available to celebrate Christmas, but now they can get the related products from here.
Al-Khattabi said that "I helped my daughter decorate the Christmas tree at the house of a Christian friend in Jeddah."

"We've all enjoyed this preparation environment and I love it and it's an example of enlightenment with people with different perspectives," Al-Khattabi said.
Alain Karam, a Lebanese citizen residing in Saudi Arabia, says, "I can confirm that it is easier to find Christmas decorations in various stores in the Kingdom than in previous years."
