Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year – and doubly so when you’re in Europe, where they’re known for taking yuletide festivities with unerring sincerity. After all, these traditional Christmas markets are grandiose affairs that date back centuries, and were running like clockwork year after year until the COVID-19 pandemic brought the merriment to a screeching halt for far too long.
However, things are looking up with almost all Christmas markets back in full swing – which means that travellers to Europe can look forward to partaking in hearty Christmas fare like stollen, minced pies and of course, far too much mulled wine to quell the wintry chill.
