Exploring the Christmas Markets of Europe

Each year, European towns and cities play host to the charming, traditional Christmas markets. Festive stalls form a carpet of colour throughout many of the squares and cobbled streets, each selling unusual gifts and trinkets that your customers just can’t resist.

Find those perfect Christmas gifts at the fantastic markets

Tempting Treats

Dotted throughout the stalls, you will find tasty treats to tempt you as you stroll around: delicious German sausage; chips with mayonnaise, a popular Belgian snack; hot roast nuts; and for those customers with a sweet tooth, there are so many mouth-watering snacks on offer: waffles with fresh cream; pancakes with chocolate – the list goes on.
Then there’s the seductive smell of Glühwein that lures you over to the nearest stall, and ensures your customers are kept toasty throughout the day – for a few cents extra you can even keep your mug as a souvenir! Or why not try a scrumptious hot chocolate, towered high with whipped cream – but this is a European Christmas market – and this heavenly drink is made extra special with a dash of creamy Bailey’s or warming rum! Whether they fancy a nice brew, a local beer or mulled wine, there’s an abundance of beverages to choose from.
That’s one thing about a Christmas market – you can be sure your customers will never be hungry or thirsty!
