Winter Wonderland at Britzer Garten

Christmas market in Berlin from 27 November to 20 December 2026

A dazzling display of lights by the water and nostalgic fairground stalls: with the ‘Winter Wonderland’, the Britzer Garten is hosting a new Christmas market this festive season. Right by the model boat harbour, a festively illuminated world of wonder will come to life over four weekends in Advent. The view across the lake and the unique garden setting make the market an atmospheric destination for a winter outing.

A Christmas market for the whole family

At ‘Winter Wonderland’, you can look forward to a blend of classic Christmas market atmosphere and entertainment. Nostalgic stalls and magical light displays create a festive atmosphere around the model boat harbour. On stage, there’s a varied programme of shows featuring music, dance and acrobatics. Even Father Christmas will be popping by.

Tip: To kick things off, there’ll be an opening celebration on stage on 27 November 2026 at 3 pm.

Typical sweet and savoury Christmas market classics are on hand to keep you going. Warm up with mulled wine or hot chocolate and enjoy grilled sausages, popcorn, freshly made candyfloss, roasted almonds or crêpes. With its programme of shows, ‘Winter Wonderland’ is particularly suitable for families. But couples and anyone wishing to combine the Christmas spirit with a stroll in the countryside will also find this a lovely destination for the Advent season.

Combine your visit to the Christmas market with a wintry stroll through Britzer Garten. Even in the colder months, this spacious park offers beautiful views and plenty of space for a relaxing outing. Not far away is the historic Britz Castle with its estate. Traditionally, the Nordic Fairytale Christmas takes place there at weekends during Advent – complete with bonfires, street performers, arts and crafts, and a medieval atmosphere. So a trip to Britz offers the chance to discover a whole range of different Christmas worlds.
