Setting the Vibe

Before you set the coals to blazing and liven up your grill with original BBQ recipes, it’s crucial to set the vibe carefully beforehand. Create a warm atmosphere, borrowed from the convivial spirit of a Christmas in Luly (a tradition for camping lovers who celebrate Christmas on July 25), with subdued multicoloured lights in the trees. Arrange comfortable cushions around the table to show your hospitality. For background music, opt for an eclectic playlist suited to the occasion, to gently accompany your festivities.
