9Colmar Christmas Market: A Real-Life Snow Globe

Few Christmas markets feel as immersive and picture-perfect as Colmar, where pastel half-timbered houses and canals create a dreamy backdrop.

The market is divided into six themed areas, making it easy to explore everything from gourmet treats to children’s workshops. Highlights include the illuminated Petite Venise, jewel-like decor displays, and steaming cups of vin chaud infused with cinnamon and citrus. Colmar is smaller than Strasbourg but equally magical—ideal if you want a more intimate Christmas experience.
