Every year when the first of Advent approaches, it happens. The longing for light, warmth and Christmas comes to me like a real popsicle. I want mulled wine, roasted almonds and straw decorations. It's simply time to start dedicating the weekends to Christmas markets! I really like both modern Christmas markets with art and classic Christmas markets with crafts, but most of all there should be lots of good food and sweets. Because if there's one thing you should do all the way into the Christmas cake, it's eating those things you only eat once a year.
As I've done quite a bit of research for the best Christmas markets, I thought I might as well write them down and save them for next year. Christmas markets tend to reappear year after year. The Christmas markets that I have selected are often a little outside of Stockholm, preferably in a castle or a manor house.

Have I missed any of your Christmas market favorites? Which Christmas markets are you going to this year?
Oh, how many cozy ones there are. I could think of them all! 😊
There are clearly more markets than there is time! Luckily it's almost Christmas again! :)
Lots of good tips, have most written on my list too, just haven't had time to visit any yet. A cozy Christmas market is also there Enskedethe park's bakery, it is tomorrow 28 November. (https://www.facebook.com/enskedeparken). You can usually buy wonderful saffron buns there, for example. :-)
Oh, thanks for the tip Enskedethe park's bakery! I thought it was the same as Enskedes Christmas market. Will check it out! Hope there was a saffron bun or two for you this weekend! :)
What a great guide to Stockholm's Christmas markets! Thanks for this!!!
You are welcome! :) A pure pleasure when something that started as a list for myself, becomes useful for more people!
Thought I had a good grasp of the Christmas market selection in Stockholm, but had actually missed several of these! Thank you for the advice :)
Glad you found some new ones! I will probably never get through them all – too few Advent weekends per year! :)
