Christmas market mug from Wiesbaden (Denise Clancy (Facebook))

Denise Clancy, thank you for this beautiful photo of the Wiesbaden Christmas market mug. We love the blue and gold detailing against the blue evening sky and golden Christmas lights. This charming “Twinkling Star” market will be held on the Schlossplatz and in front of the Marktkirche from Nov. 26–Dec. 23, 2024.

Decorated in blue and gold, like this mug, visitors can explore market stalls and gaze at 21 large, illuminated lilies and dozens of smaller lilies, snowflakes and stars which create a magical atmosphere along the streets of Wiesbaden. There will be an ice rink where you can skate or practice curling, and there is a children’s market throughout the season. Try Kaiseschmarrn, sweet bits of fluffy pancake served with apple or cranberry sauce at this market. For more information, visit wiesbaden.de.
