--- Quote ---In Western culture, Christmas occurs in December. Christmas is generally about gift-giving and holiday cheer. Christmas in July celebrations may be held in July to provide a second joyful celebration in the year.
In the southern hemisphere, Christmas in July is the name given to social events with a winter Christmas theme, as July is generally the coldest month of the year.

There's "Christmas in July" but it's not popular in VietNam.

I see now. 
Those are not Xmas trees. They look like xmas trees. 
They're modern contemporary landscaping decorative trees to beautify the surroundings.  :colors
