Scenes from the Christmas Market

Here are some photos I’ve taken at the Frankfurt Christmas market – Weihnachtsmarkt.

People buy gingerbread with cute sayings on it (“My darling” “My loving husband” “best mum ever”) and hang them around their necks. They walk around like this, and I think it’s pretty funny. Like a walking poster board of sugar.

Cheese from the left is scraped and then melted to make delicious fondue.

The tree is from Bavaria, near to the Austrian boarder.

This is my favourite drink - feuerzangenbowle. Alcohol is dripped over a massive lump of sugar, and collects in a cauldron at the bottom. It’s a little stronger than most of the stuff you get at the Christmas market but it’s lovely all the same!

  1. Hi Charlotte hows it going, these photo’s are really nice reminds me of Hyde Park during this festive time of year.

  2. I will be at the market next week, and now your photos have me stoked!

  3. I love the feuerzangenbowle, my roommate loves to make it! I’m an expat in Karlsruhe. The Frankfurt market definitely seems to have a more diverse food offering than us, like chocolate covered brezeln, whoa!
