Prenzlau Christmas Market: Magical opening with Cadillac and mayor!
The Prenzlau Christmas market opened its doors in Uckermark on November 29, 2025. A highlight of the opening was Santa Claus, who arrived in style in a glittering 1959 Cadillac, accompanied by the mayor and the Swan Princess. The market remains open until December 14th and is one of the longest-running Christmas markets in northeast Germany. Unfortunately there was no snow on opening day, but the hope for a white Christmas remains until the market closes. Impressions of the opening can be viewed in a video that captures the festive atmosphere.
Christmas markets in comparison
In mid-December, not only the Prenzlau Christmas market comes into view, but the whole of Germany shines in festive splendour. In Munich, for example, there are a large number of Christmas markets that attract numerous visitors every year. München Reisen reports on the most important markets in the city, of which the Christkindlmarkt at Marienplatz is the most traditional and has a history that stretches back to the 14th century. It runs until December 24th and offers everything your heart desires: from a large nativity play to children's workshops to atmospheric live music.
But the Viktualienmarkt, which is open until the beginning of January, also attracts with Christmas splendor and a tasty selection of mulled wine and culinary delicacies. The “Ice Magic” event is also particularly exciting, presenting the largest mobile ice rinks in Bavaria on Karlsplatz-Stachus until January 11, 2026.
