The Best Christmas Markets to Visit This Holiday Season
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The holiday season means searching high and low for the best gifts for loved ones, warming up with apple cider, indulging in sweet treats and marvelling at freshly fallen snow. There’s no better way to absorb holiday cheer than by strolling through a world-class Christmas market. Have an unforgettably festive December by travelling to one of the following places and feel yourself teleported to Santa’s workshop.
Toronto Christmas Market
Toronto, Canada
Toronto’s picturesque Historic Distillery District is always a must-visit, but it dramatically transforms during the holiday season. Browse through hundreds of handcrafted trinkets while you sip on heated mulled wine under beautifully designed lighting displays. This romantic atmosphere is perfect to enjoy with your love, your family or your closest friends. No matter your age, there’s something special for everyone to enjoy.
Frankfurt Christmas Market
Frankfurt, Germany
Fröhliche Weihnachten! For an authentic German Christmas celebration, you simply must attend the Frankfurt Christmas Market. Bask in the festive atmosphere of Romerberg and St. Paul’s Square and stand in the shadow of the extraordinary Christmas tree at the center of all the excitement. Stop by one of many log cabins and pick up a souvenir so you can ignite the holiday cheer year after year!
Strasbourg Christmas Market
Strasbourg, France
This city in eastern France is known as the “Capital of Christmas” for a reason; The Strasbourg Christmas Market is one of the oldest in Europe as it has been taking place since 1570. Deck the halls by visiting the 300 awe-inspiring stalls. You’ll be saying “Joyeux Noel” to all the passersby as you sample local Alsatian wine and delicious French Christmas treats!
Bank of America Winter Village
New York City
There’s nothing quite like spending the holidays in New York City and The Bank of America Winter Village in the iconic Bryant Park is no exception. Join Santa and his elves on the beautiful classic carousel, and if you’re lucky, the black granite Josephine Shaw Lowell Fountain will freeze, transforming the market into a winter wonderland. Speaking of ice, don’t forget to bring your skates and glide along the 17,000 square-foot outdoor rink.
Tivoli Gardens
Copenhagen, Denmark
While Tivoli Gardens amusement park runs year-round, it truly comes alive during the holidays. Attracting both Hans Christian Andersen and Walt Disney, you can rest assured this Christmas Market is straight out of a fairy tale. For a Nordic Christmas adventure, hop on one of the park’s 27 rides, which overlook the decorated wooden houses and snow-covered trees.
