Your one and only favorite Social Butterfly Host (Julia) is absolutely obsessed with Christmas Markets — and honestly, I still don’t fully understand why. Maybe it’s the lights, maybe it’s the atmosphere, or maybe it’s simply the fact that every single market has its own unique character and vibe.
This year, I’m letting you join in the fun once again: I picked and planned eight (!) different Christmas markets for us to explore together. Whether you join one or all eight, I’m excited to discover Berlin’s winter magic with you. Let’s go together.
