Europe Christmas Markets: 2021

Our first year of our Christmas Markets in Europe. The epitome of holiday cheer and hygge, with grilled wurst and gluhwein. Simply put, Christmas Market season in Europe is one to be taken, very seriously.

Heidelberg- strolling through the city popping by the markets tucked into nooks. Learning market mug collecting is a THING, and that carousels are still motion illness inducing for me and that my children

Wiesbaden - warm lebkuchen bites in one hand, gluhwein in another.

Frankfurt - there is something comforting about our first Frankfurt market with us all huddles close sipping Gluhwein (heisse Schokolade for the boys) that evokes a vivid memory of our time nestled into the Marktplatz on a cold winter evening. The massive swinging grill that prepared our dinner is also a memory we will never forget.

Mainz - the backdrop to Mark’s holiday party (genius idea, whomever dreamed that into existence) where the boys took in carousel rides.
