Weihnachtsmarkt

A Weihnachtsmarkt, or Christmas market, is a festive event typically held during the holiday season in European cities, especially in Germany. It features decorated stalls offering seasonal foods, beverages like mulled wine, handmade crafts, and holiday gifts. These markets create a warm, communal atmosphere where visitors can enjoy shopping, entertainment, and seasonal traditions. Often located in town squares or streets, they have a charming, historic feel with lights, music, and holiday decor, making them a popular way to celebrate Christmas and enjoy local culture.
