Colmar Christmas Market Monday 24 November 2025 (4 Days) Colmar’s Christmas Markets are among the best known in the Alsace region, and perhaps one of the most photographed Christmas markets in all of Europe. The reason for that is simple of course – the Christmas markets in Colmar are absolutely stunning. Framed by fairytale half-timbered houses and richly decorated canals, Colmar’s six Christmas markets have something to offer everyone, whether they’re looking for unique handmade gifts or a gourmet bite to eat. The Christmas Markets in the Alsace are known for their impressive decorations and attention to detail, but Colmar may well win 1st place where decorations are concerned. From festive scenes arranged along its canals to whimsical white Christmas trees scattered around town, every corner of Colmar is a photogenic dream at Christmas time. Trust us – you’ll be snapping photos every two seconds. Besides the Christmas decor, we have to say that Colmar is already one of the most magical places to visit in the world, with fairytale architecture ripped straight from the pages of a storybook. Colmar takes its Christmas celebrations seriously, which means you’ll find six Christmas markets to visit, all with different themes and focuses. This is more than enough to keep you occupied during your trip, and you’re guaranteed to find plenty of unique gifts to bring home.
A very unique Colmar Christmas market to visit is the city’s Gourmet Christmas Market at Place de la Cathédrale, home to tasty food offerings that are significantly more gourmet than typical Christmas market foods. The Indoor Market at Koïfhus Colmar’s medieval Koïfhus building is another great Christmas market where you can buy gifts from local artisans. From lovely jewelry pieces and cute felt hats to elegant ceramic bowls, this market was packed with unique gifts, all in an indoor market hall setting which made it great for escaping the cold.
The Place de l’Ancienne Douane Christmas Market At Place de l’Ancienne Douane, you’ll find one of Colmar’s largest Christmas markets, with 50+ chalets offering everything from touristy souvenirs and unique handicrafts to tasty treats and local wines.
The Petite Venise Children’s Christmas Market For another beautiful Christmas market to visit in Colmar, make sure you head to Petite Venise (which is one of the city’s prettiest areas).
