What do you go to German Christmas markets for? Presents? Yes. Glühwein? Obviously. But most of all - it’s got to be about the food.
From Reibekuchen and Bratwurst to Schmalzkuchen and Kӓsespӓtzle, Christmas markets across Germany are known to boast a glorious array of traditional German dishes and regional specialities. Apart from soaking up the festive atmosphere, a big part of the fun of visiting a Weihnachtsmarkt is sampling all of the tempting treats on offer, both sweet and savoury.
But with so many different stalls to choose from - and only so many hours in the day - it can be hard to know which dish to choose. Join YouTubers Deana and Phil as they visit multiple different markets and sample a few staple food items.
