Two Christmas market mugs one is in the shape of a penguin with a red and white scarf, the other is a brown mug with a winter village scene wrapping around it.

Saarbrücken Christmas market mugs (Tela Lee Royston (Facebook))

Tela Lee Royston, thank you for the picture of this adorable penguin mug and classic city-scape mug from Saarbrücken, Germany. Only 40 minutes from Ramstein and about an hour from the KMC area, the market with a flying Santa will be held from Nov. 18–Dec. 23 and from Dec. 27–30, 2024.

Enjoy glittering lights and sampling warm market treats throughout this Christmas city as Santa flies by overhead with his reindeer each day at 5 and 7 p.m. On Children’s Wednesdays, he flies by at 2 p.m. You can also get a Christmas photo taken at the Knips-Mich-Hütte free of charge.
