The Celestial Holography conjecture posits the existence of a codimension two theory whose correlators compute the S-matrix in a conformal primary basis. Although resembling a CFT in several respects, the intrinsic definition of this proposed dual theory remains elusive. In this talk, I will discuss a conjecture suggesting that Celestial CFT (CCFT) is related to a dimensionally reduced CFT on the Lorentzian cylinder and present some concrete examples of celestial amplitudes constructed in this way.
