Have yourself a very merry Christmas!. Silent night, sparkling lights and hearts full of joy

Christmas markets in Germany are a cherished holiday tradition that welcomes visitors into a magical world of twinkling lights, festive music and delicious seasonal treats. These markets date back to the Middle Ages and are held in town squares throughout Germany, with iconic examples in cities such as Nuremberg, Munich and Dresden. Each market displays unique regional crafts and festive customs. Here, guests can discover handcrafted ornaments, wooden toys and cosy winter accessories, along with specialities like mulled wine (Glühwein), gingerbread (Lebkuchen) and roasted nuts—ideal for enjoying while immersing themselves in the enchanting atmosphere.

This day is celebrated worldwide with a variety of traditions. Families gather for special meals, exchange gifts or attend midnight church services. In Greece, the evening often includes a festive meal and the tradition of hanging 'karavaki' (little boats) as decorations. In Spain, carolling and nativity scenes are central to the day, while in Nordic countries, people light candles and sing hymns. The night is filled with warmth, anticipation and cultural customs.
