But what is a Christkindlmarkt? Basicly there are a lot of small houses, decorated in christmas decoration and lights, which eiter sell food and drinks, christmas treats, homemade christmas presents or decoration.
Normally they have a big christmas tree decorated and especially in the evenings its a really unique flair with christmas music and everyone is in christmas mood.
The most famous drink is probably the "Glühwein" which is red wine heated (not cooked) with spices like cinnamon sticks and cloves and oranges.
An alternative are hot apple cider in german "Glühmost" or a couple of different punches either with or without alcohol. Those could be like orange, berries or from region to region different ones.
Food depends also most time on the area where you are going to but pretty much everywhere you can get roasted chestnuts and treats.
It is a really unique expierience which I don't want to miss at any of my christmases and you shouldn't either!
