Have Yourself a Little Christmas
With European and local vendors, holiday karaoke, Santa meetings, festive drinks and more, there’s a little something for everyone.
According to centuries-old tradition, many German towns host Christmas Markets in December; each one is unique, featuring local artisans and festive regional refreshments. Residents take the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company, sample local delicacies, shop for gifts, and share holiday cheer. The Seattle Christmas Market aspires to bring this festive Old-World tradition to Seattle. Our Market combines colorful décor, authentic gifts, enticing food and drinks, and family entertainment, creating the perfect atmosphere for celebrating the Season.
Immerse yourself in the holiday spirit with our lively lineup of festive entertainment, all showcased on the Flying Stage at Seattle’s one-of-a-kind Christmas Pyramid. As you explore the Market, you’ll have the chance to uncover unique treasures perfect for tucking under your Christmas tree, thanks to over 80 artisan huts offering handcrafted gifts for everyone on your list. And for those who revel in the festive flavors of the season, indulge in a sip-and-stroll experience with Glühwein (mulled wine), Feuerzangenbowle, a selection of German beers, and an array of sweet and savory delights. But that’s not all! Kids, as well as those young at heart, will find endless excitement with activities like riding the Christmas Carousel, embarking on a thrilling Market-wide scavenger hunt, and sharing playful moments with our Seattle Christmas Market mascots, Holly and Jolly.
