The Seattle Christmas Market
The Seattle Christmas Market is back at Seattle Center to celebrate the magic and joy of the holiday seasons.
The gates are now open! Wander down an enchanting path through the Fairytale Forest, explore the charm of Lovers’ Lane, and step inside the dazzling 50-foot walk-through twinkling Christmas trees. Take a spin on the brand-new double-decker Christmas Carousel, and capture magical moments with St. Nick in Santa’s Snow Globe.
Surrounded by the cheerful sounds of local musicians performing festive tunes, guests can explore more than 60 hand-crafted wooden huts brimming with artisan goods and traditional European gifts, offering something unique for everyone on your list.
Bring your appetite—this is a Christmas Market for food lovers. With over 20 food and drink huts, you can savor holiday classics like bratwurst, currywurst, raclette, schnitzel, borscht, and pretzels, or venture off the beaten path with fire-roasted salmon, paella, and crispy potato twisters. Save room for the sweets: strudel, churros, chimney cakes, and Belgian chocolate-covered fruit are just a few indulgences waiting for you.
Chilly evenings call for warming drinks like hot cocoa, spiced apple cider, or the quintessential German Glühwein. Feeling adventurous? Try this year’s new addition, Feuerzangenbowle—a fiery, rum-soaked sugar cone caramelizing into mulled wine, adding a festive flair to your holiday toast. And, of course, don’t miss raising a cold German beer with friends—Prost!
