Holy Shit Shopping
This Christmas market in Berlin will take place on 29 and 30 November 2025
Holy shit, Christmas is just around the corner! If you are looking for an unconventional Christmas market experience in the capital as an alternative to the usual, traditional Christmas markets, then Holy Shit Shopping is a must-visit!
On the 1st weekend of Advent 2025: Holy Shit Shopping transforms the new CANK location in Berlin into an urban creative department stores'. The Christmas market, which has little to do with traditional Christmas markets apart from mulled wine, is one of the highlights in the pre-Christmas capital. And with a brand new motto: with the slogan Ciao tinsel! Hello future! the organisers invite design fans to promote innovative ideas in the creative industry, support sustainable approaches and honour social commitment.
Pre-Christmas pop-up department stores' for over 20 years
The "mother of all design Christmas markets" has been taking place since 2004, so for over 20 years! It all started with a small design market in the legendary Café Moskau, but today it's impossible to imagine pre-Christmas Berlin without Holy Shit Shopping. More than 15,000 people now visit the pop-up department stores' every year. The former department stores' in the heart of Berlin-Neukölln is probably one of the most exciting off-locations in the city at the moment. Over 10,000 square metres on 5 floors. Here, design and the striking Brutalist architecture are combined while shopping!
Hand-picked designers and artists
Selected international designers and artists offer their highly creative and high-quality lifestyle products at Holy Shit Shopping over two days. If you are looking for that very special Christmas present, then let off steam here. Fashion, jewellery, furniture, art, literature, photography: you're sure to find something for you and your loved ones here!
Street food to Berlin beats
