Setting up the Kaiserslautern Christmas Market (Kat Nickola)

It is that time of year again. Long, dark nights are coming. To help alleviate the boredom and raise spirits, soon you can spend some time with friends and family at the local Christmas markets. Prep your toasty winter coat, hat and mittens!

In downtown Kaiserslautern, Germany, Christmas market booths are being assembled, cranes are dropping Santa’s sleigh on top of glühwein huts and fir trees are being decorated beside every lamp post.

We know visiting the markets is a highlight of the season and gives everyone something to look forward to as the darkness takes over.

Our 2024 Christmas Market Directory is updated weekly!

Get the kids excited for the season by sending a Letter to Santa – all those sent through the Stars and Stripes’ special holiday APO Box will get a special mailed reply.
