If you mean that vertical reflection of colored lights in the corner, post processing you be easy, especially since you have a black background.
I'd agree with that, assuming that it's the patio door ( window? ) frame that you're referring to. It looks like that because it's being brightly lit, not because it's reflective. You'll find that a polariser doesn't do much, if anything. And changing the angle of view won't work unless you move to a position where the inner surface of the door frame is not included.
As Jerry said, sort it in PP. The door frame has nice clean contrasty edges, so it should be easy to select. Then darken, desaturate and de-contrast, but not to the point where it looks unnaturally lit. You'll find that reducing the problem rather than trying to eliminate it altogether works best.

I took this photo of my Christmas tree from the outside of my house. How do I eliminate the reflection from an opposite window? PP?
Next time, remove the glass before you shoot. LOL.
In post, ideally you'd use a mask but you don't absolutely have to. Paint over the reflection then use the curves tool to take it to black.
But your going to have a lot of negative space after removing that reflection, so a crop is probably in order.
3rd idea is to let the reflection be part of the composition.
