Giant purple, Wroclaw Christmas Market Mug (Jessica Lynn (Facebook))

Jessica Lynn, thank you for this fun picture of the giant, purple boot mug in Wroclaw Poland! The Wroclaw market is both the oldest and biggest Christmas market in Poland and will be held from Nov. 29, 2024–Jan. 7, 2025.

Sip on blueberry mulled wine and snack on churros as you make your way through this fairytale-themed market. Admire statues of Krasnales, Wroclaw’s infamous gnomes, and watch Santa ride his horse and cart around the outskirts of Rynek Starego Miastra as children gather to meet him.
