About christms.eu

christms.eu, spelled without an a, is an independent guide to Christmas markets in Europe. AIA Labs publishes it. The guide lists 360 markets in 32 countries for the 2026 season.

Dates and hours

235 markets have a recorded 2026 date. 0 show an estimate carried forward from 2025. 125 do not yet have a 2026 date or a 2025 date to carry forward. A short note on every market page, and on the lists, asks you to check the market's official site. Where this guide has a source address, the note links to it.

The date label means:

• Official — the recorded source presents the dates as published for 2026.
• Announced — a date has been announced and is not marked confirmed.
• Not confirmed — a 2026 date is recorded here, without a confirmation mark. It is not an estimate.
• Estimate — the 2026 range is derived from 2025 dates, shifted to the same weekday. It is not an official date.
• Not announced — this guide has no 2026 date and no 2025 date to carry forward. Dates are not yet announced.

What a page is

Each market has its own page. Country pages list the markets in that country. The site does not publish a spreadsheet, a JSON file, or another download of the full list.
