The Christmas magic brings a lot of joy and happiness to our houses and hearts! The Christmas holiday market is the place to get inspired and get more Christmas ideas. With the approach of winter, holiday markets serving mulled wine, sweet treats, and handmade gifts begin sprouting up throughout the world.

Generally held in old public squares, these merry affairs are rife with lights and ornaments spread decadently through inviting stalls. CovetED Magazine surveys ten of the most beautiful markets, where crowds can’t help but feel the spirit of the season.

Christmas is traditional and annual holiday!
Of course, it is difficult to pinpoint the oldest Christmas market: numerous cities, including Dresden, Germany, and Vienna, Austria, claim the “world’s oldest” title.

Records show that Vienna held a December market as far back as 1294, though these were more general December events and less concerned with holiday-specific activities. Dresden’s Strietzelmarkt, the oldest Christmas market in Germany, was first held in 1434. In Strasbourg, in the Alsace region of France, the country’s oldest Christmas market has operated continuously since 1570. But the oldest markets aren’t necessarily the most popular—Christmas markets in Cologne and Dortmund  earn the most annual visits, with 4 million and 3.6 million shoppers, respectively, wandering their stall-lined streets each season.
