Officially, the Christmas market season doesn't begin until after 22 November 2026 (Totensonntag, Germany's Sunday of Remembrance). But as the autumn days grow colder, the first festively decorated stalls are already welcoming visitors with the irresistible aromas of freshly baked waffles and steaming mulled wine.
Get into the festive spirit early with our selection of winter markets that open before the traditional Christmas market season begins. We'll update the dates as soon as they're confirmed.
We wish you a wonderful festive season filled with magical moments and memorable experiences.
Let the Christmas magic begin!
