Every year, as the first Advent draws near, something magical happens. The longing for light, warmth, and the Christmas spirit hits me like a chill in the air. Suddenly, I crave mulled wine, roasted almonds, and straw decorations. It's time to spend weekends exploring the Christmas markets around Stockholm! I adore both modern markets with art and the classic ones with handmade crafts, but above all, they must be brimming with delicious food and sweet treats. After all, if thereโs one thing I look forward to as Christmas approaches, it's indulging in those festive delights we only enjoy once a year, all while soaking in the joy of Christmas music!
After doing some thorough research on the best Christmas markets, I figured Iโd jot them down and save them for next year. These markets tend to return year after year. The ones Iโve selected are often just outside Stockholm, typically set in charming castles or historic manor houses.

Are there more Christmas markets around Stockholm that I missed?
Have I missed any of your favorites among all the Christmas markets around Stockholm? Get in touch! Which Christmas markets are you going to this year? Do you have time for a Christmas market per weekend?
Oh, how many cozy ones there are. I could think of them all! ๐
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 โ too few Advent weekends per year! :)
Hersby Christmas Market Sollentuna 8 Dec 12-15pm
Traditional Christmas market in an old-fashioned setting. The children can say hello to Santa. Hot dogs, cotton candy, mulled wine, home-baked coffee service, stalls with homemade crafts, honey, bread, juice, home-made candles, wreaths, flour from local mills. Hersby and Edsbacka fiddlers play. The forge is up and running and the trade stall sells all kinds of goods that belonged to Christmas in the old days.
