Two cute, brown mugs with a cartoon-style man and woman’s face.

Ludwigsburg Market Mugs ( Launie Kohnekamp (Facebook))

Launie Kohnekamp, thank you for this comical picture of these face mugs from Ludwigsburg! The Ludwigsburg Baroque Weihnachtsmarkt is only about 30 minutes away for our Stuttgart readers. It blends elegance and tradition. This year, it will be held from Nov. 26, 2024–Dec. 22, 2024.

In the heart of the city and in between two, beautiful Baroque churches you can enjoy soaring angels, Christmas carolers, and puppet theater for children. There are culinary specialties like roast duck and cheese fondue, along with other market staples such as glühwein and chestnuts. Local crafters sell items like carved wooden toys, music boxes and glass Christmas ornaments. For more information, visit travel.ludwigsburg.de.
