Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
The market opens on 23 November 2026 and remains open until 3 January 2027 – one of the few Berlin Christmas markets that continues after Christmas and over the New Year. Visitors find classic fir decorations, handmade toys, international gift ideas and regional specialities at the stalls. Children can enjoy calm carousels. The highlight for adults is the Feuerzangenbowle stand, where the traditional flaming punch is prepared and served. Live music and cosy seating areas in the mulled-wine gardens complete the offer. On Christmas Eve and public holidays reduced opening hours apply; please check the official pages for the latest details.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Berlin
- Best arrival by public transport: U-Bahn U1/U9 Kurfürstendamm or S-/U-Bahn Zoologischer Garten – the square is only a few minutes’ walk away.
- Dress warmly and weatherproof, as the square is open and wind-exposed. Layers and sturdy shoes are recommended.
- Book accommodation in City West or Charlottenburg early, especially around Christmas and New Year.
- Combine the market ideally with a visit to the Memorial Church and a stroll along Kurfürstendamm.
- Arrive earlier on weekends and public holidays to avoid crowds and enjoy the light atmosphere at dusk.
