A Little Englander bemoaned the absence of Christmas lights in Liverpool and the sparkling smackdowns lit up Twitter
The phenomenon of people bemoaning the absence of ‘Christmas’ – on telly, in Tescos, basically whoever they can’t find it – has become as much a part of the nation’s festive tradition as Turkey on the table and Mrs Brown’s Boys on the telly.
And this one is a proper doozy, a little Englander who wandered the streets of Liverpool looking for Christmas lights and apparently not finding them.
Walking through Liverpool town centre this Christmas feels… strange.
One of the busiest streets of all Church Street — and not a single set of Christmas lights in sight.
No sparkle overhead. No festive glow. Just rows of shops and crowds passing through without that familiar… pic.twitter.com/vvN295Ge9O

Here’s what they said to save you the bother.
‘Walking through Liverpool town centre this Christmas feels… strange.
‘One of the busiest streets of all Church Street — and not a single set of Christmas lights in sight.
‘No sparkle overhead. No festive glow. Just rows of shops and crowds passing through without that familiar seasonal atmosphere. For a city that usually does Christmas so well, it feels like something important is missing this year.
‘It’s not about extravagance it’s about spirit. Those lights used to lift the mood, make the cold evenings feel warmer, and remind everyone that Christmas was on the way. Without them, it all just feels a bit flat.
‘Anyone else notice it? Or feel like the magic is quietly fading?’
And of all the many responses these people surely said it best.

Apart from the fact it's day time. There's a huge fucking Christmas tree there. There's literally lights on the buildings. And there's a big display around the corner. Apart from all that….then yes you've got a point.

All over the comments multiple people pointing out where Liverpool’s Christmas lights and markets are. Sue isn’t bothered, she was only talking about that ONE particular street she is in. The one which has a massive Christmas tree in it.
Dafty. No one is cancelling Christmas.— VJ the shrimp (@vjtheshrimp) December 3, 2025
Never said Christmas is cancelled I said I used to go there with my mum and it was always lit up as it is one of the main shopping streets . I also point out the tree and the beautiful nativity scene ♀️
