Enormous list of European Christmas Markets Open after Christmas!

Are there any Christmas markets still open after December 25th? Indeed, there are an enormous number of European Christmas markets open after Christmas!

There’s no need to worry, you can still experience a winter travel getaway complete with twinkling Christmas lights, strolls amid cozy stalls, ice skating, and all-around joy and merriment after the official holiday has ended! That post-Christmas magic is still alive and well, with some markets open into the New Year.

Whether you’re escaping the post-holiday blues, can’t get away until after Christmas, prefer to spend Christmas Day at home, or just plain didn’t get enough of the festivities we have a market for you!
