Frankfurt Christmas Market 2024 – Birmingham’s Winter Wonderland Returns

Forget flying to Germany—Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market, the largest authentic German market outside Germany, brings the magic of the holidays to the UK. From November 21, the city center transforms into a festive dreamland, with the scent of mulled wine, sizzling bratwurst, and cinnamon-roasted nuts filling the air.

What’s New in 2024?

• Extended Ice Rink – Glide under the stars at the larger-than-ever rink in Centenary Square, now with a VIP igloo lounge.
• Bavarian Craft Village – A dedicated zone in Victoria Square for hand-carved wooden ornaments and bespoke nutcrackers.
• Krampus Night (December 5th) – A devilishly fun tradition where costumed "Krampus" performers roam the market—great for thrill-seeking visitors.

Must-Try Treats

• Schwenkgrilled Pork Steak – A Saarland specialty, grilled on a swinging skewer.
• Feuerzangenbowle – A flaming rum-soaked sugar loaf melted into spiced wine (adults only!).
• Huge Pretzels – Freshly baked, with obatzda cheese dip.

Traveler Tip

Weekdays are quieter, but evening visits (when the half-timbered stalls glow under 100,000 lights) are pure magic. Stay at a central hotel like the Grand Hotel Birmingham to avoid missing the last train.
