Here, you can pick up a variety of porcelain ornaments, festive decorations, and wooden gnomes as well as dig into gingerbread cookies (pepparkakor), mulled wine (glögg), candied almonds, jams, and deli meats.

    Very nice! I wish we had Christmas Markets here in the States. It looks like a nice way to spend an evening or a weekend walking around and enjoying all the different sites and sounds and of course food and drink.

      Thanks. I’m surprised there aren’t any major Christmas markets in the US. Hmmm, may have to research it a bit. Might be a good article :)
