The Bad Arolsen Christmas Market, an annual highlight, traditionally takes place on the first weekend of Advent. This market, in the charming town of Bad Arolsen, is a true winter fairytale that immerses visitors in a festive mood. The town itself, with its rich history and culture, forms a picturesque backdrop for the Christmas market. Particularly suited for this is the impressive courtyard of the Bad Arolsen Residence Castle, where the market is held. The castle, a baroque gem, bestows a unique, almost magical atmosphere on the Christmas market. Against this impressive historical backdrop, the festively decorated market stalls are arrayed. The market's charm lies in its warm atmosphere. Here, visitors find a variety of handicrafts, traditional Christmas decorations, and local specialties. The market indulges its visitors with regional delicacies. From hot mulled wine and roasted almonds to hearty sausages – the selection is diverse and reflects the regional cuisine. These traditional treats are an essential part of the market experience. It offers a perfect opportunity to get into the contemplative Christmas spirit and experience unforgettable moments in a historical setting. The Christmas market will take place on 3 days from Friday, 28. November to Sunday, 30. November 2025 in Bad Arolsen.
